With an education system that places strong emphasis on bilingualism and English literacy, there is an ever-increasing demand for proficient English teachers within the education sector. This has created abundant job opportunities for the members of Hong Kong’s native English-speaking community and for adventurous individuals overseas who aspire to teach abroad.
