Posted in: Is the JET Program really necessary for Japan? See in context
As a former JET, Tottori 95-97, and as a current professor of EFL, I long came to the conclusion the JET program should be, and perhaps now is, mor selective about who they hire. That is to say, rather than hiring mostly people who look at the program as a lark for a few years before moving onto better things.
