Japan Exchange and Teaching Program
Introduced in 1987, the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme aims to help deepen mutual understanding between the people of Japan and those of other countries through foreign language exchange and cultural immersion at the local level. In 2019, there were 5,761 participants on the Programme from 57 countries, including the Philippines.
The Embassy of Japan in the Philippines has already sent a total of 154 JET participants as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) or CIRs to Japan. From 2 ALTs in 2014, it has grown to 52 ALTs and 1 CIR (Coordinator for International Relations) for 2019 alone.
