Opinions divided over English at primary schools

Of 471 people who expressed opinions on the matter at the ministry's request in spring, 55% are in favor of the proposal and 40% are against, the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry said.
Does anyone know what % of primary schools already do proper English lessons?

yeah well it's a bit of a waste if they are not all doing it, cos when they get to junior high school they all have to start from scratch, regardless of whether they have already learnt some.

For example, a Colombian friend of mine who was teaching English as a “native English speaker” at a primary school. shifty.gif

So proper means someone that is at least “native English speaker” and has some experience in teaching.

Yap, some times it’s full of contrarieties.

They have rules and regulations for almost anything. You need a “許可” work permit/licence for almost all the professions and you have to pass through a series of exams, loose a respectable amount of money to prep-schools and lots of your time in order to get it.

And still no regulation at all concerning who is eligible for teaching English. wakaranai.gif
