Panel targets English proficiency

Panel targets English proficiency

STAFF REPORT
An education ministry panel proposed Wednesday that local governments hire 600 foreigners and Japanese with excellent English-language skills nationwide as regular school teachers by the end of fiscal 2016 to enhance students' English-language proficiency.


The 12-member panel suggested the state and local boards of education double the number of 18-year-old students who have studied or stayed abroad to around 30,000.
