The AJET National Council meets with CLAIR and government ministry officials on an as-needed basis but in recent history have occurred at least twice a year. These meetings usually take place at the CLAIR office in Tokyo. During these meetings, AJET presents reports in English and Japanese on general issues and concerns raised by the JET community or topics specifically requested by CLAIR and the government ministries. We then engage in discussions on these topics with the wider aim of seeking how to improve the JET Programme.
