Experience sharing: Education Bureau Chief Curriculum Development Officer Simon Tham and native-speaking English teachers John Hone and Meryn Bulley, plus local teachers Akina Lam and Nancy Sh'e, describe the NET experience.

The Enhanced Native-speaking English Teacher Scheme has been successful in fostering an environment for local students to practise English and boost their confidence in using the language beyond the classroom.

Celebrating the scheme's 10th anniversary recently, Education Bureau Chief Curriculum Development Officer tasked for the scheme Simon Tham told news.gov.hk the scheme harnesses the expertise and experience of native-speaking English teachers (NETs).

"They come from their home countries to work together with our local teachers. It is progressive, fulfilling and challenging," Mr Tham said.
