We were very pleased to attend the JET Pre-departure reception on the 11th of July, hosted by The Japanese Consulate in Edinburgh. This year sees 56 young students from all over Scotland and the North of England heading off to Japan. Consul General Fujiwara wished them well and Japan Society of Scotland Chairman Ian Gow, JETAA Scotland Chair Zeljka Letica, JETTA North East Chair Naomi Crosbie-Iwasaki, and Director General Matsutani of CLAIR (Japan Local Government Centre) the organisation responsible for placing all JET students throughout Japan, were all on hand to offer congratulations and words of support. The students will be winging their way to different prefectures in Japan in various teaching capacities.
