Hello,

I am currently writing my essay about private schools in South Korea and I have been struggling a lot with the usage of the word yet.

The sentence is: Others are not capable of providing money for their native English speaker employees yet hiring them to teach in their hagwon.

What I am trying to say:

some other private schools are not capable of providing money to their employees but they are still hiring them to teach English in their hagwon.
hagwon = private school

Is this the correct usage of yet?
also, does others sound informal?

Thank you in advance

What you are 'trying to say' is better than the sentence with 'yet' in it.

... but they are still hiring them to teach English ...
... but they have yet to dismiss them from their English teaching jobs ...

Is "yet" used correctly?
