About the NIHONGO Partners Program
This program dispatches Japanese citizens as NIHONGO Partners mainly to secondary schools in Asia in order to support the local Japanese-Language teachers and students. The assignment of NIHONGO Partners is not only to support the educational activities of the local Japanese-Language teachers but also to spread the charms of the Japanese language and cultures through their learning support and cultural activities in and outside the classroom. Simultaneously, it is an opportunity for NIHONGO Partners to learn about their assigned country through exchange with their students, teachers, and the people of the community. This program aims to deepen mutual understanding and expand exchanges between Japan and other countries in Asia.
Dispatching over 3,000 people by FY2023
Over 3,000 people will be dispatched as NIHONGO Partners by the end of FY2023. We hope this program will creat many human resources who can serve as a bridge between Japan and other countries in Asia.
