Hmm... I did take a look at it a while back.

Anything that is run and organised by the government is a good thing. Just like the JET program in Japan, the NET Scheme in Hong Kong looks like a similar initiative.

The Hong Kong NET Scheme seems more strict for their entry requirements than the JET program in Japan. For starters, the NET Scheme requires a TESL/TEFL qualification from all candidates. I suppose this is a good way of weeding out the time wasters from the serious applicants.

Overall, a thumbs up!
