e quality japan

I am very hopeful for e Quality Japan. I think that much needs to be done to improve the integrity of the English teaching profession in Japan, specifically concerning English schools here, but also concerning the attitude of English teachers at schools.

I look forward to a new era in English education in Japan!

I am confident that eQuality Japan will address these matters and more. David Paul has been very involved in the formation of eQuality and I have high praise and higher respect for the man who truly cares about improving the excellence of teaching in Japan.There are many of us who do care. While there are some terrible schools in Japan, there are many run by good people who pride themselves on doing an admirable job for their students and indeed for their teachers. (In some cases especially for their teachers), as like Richard Branson (one of my heroes), they know that if their teachers are happy, then their students will be too!

E Quality Japan is a new association of independent language schools and teachers.

E-Quality brings together schools and independent teachers who offer integrity, honesty and high professional standards in their teaching and business operations.

The reputation of the English language teaching industry in Japan has been badly hurt by the dishonest practices of some schools. It has become necessary for schools and independent teachers that strive for higher professional standards and value financial honesty and transparency to get together and agree to abide by a code of conduct.

Levels of membership

The basic level of membership that is being introduced at this point requires new members to sign a Code of Professional Conduct.

A higher level of membership will be introduced later that will give accreditation to language schools.
