Ms. Alecia Crossley-Thomas, a dedicated and accomplished teacher from the federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, has been selected to participate in the renowned Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme 2024.

Ms. Crossley-Thomas, known for her innovative teaching methods and commitment to student development, will join a select group of individuals chosen for their exemplary skills and dedication to education. The JET Programme, established in 1987, aims to enhance foreign language education in Japan while fostering international understanding.
“I am incredibly honoured to be part of the JET Programme and to represent St. Kitts and Nevis in Japan,” said Ms. Crossley-Thomas. “This opportunity not only allows me to contribute to the educational landscape in Japan but also to share and celebrate the unique culture of my home land.”
During her time in Japan, Ms. Crossley-Thomas will work as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) in Japanese schools, where she will assist in English language classes and engage with students to promote cultural exchange. Her selection is a testament to her outstanding contribution to education and her passion for fostering cross-cultural understanding.
Ms. Crossley-Thomas’s participation in the JET Programme is expected to have a lasting impact on both on her professional growth and the students she will teach in Japan. The experience will not only enhance her teaching skills but also provide valuable insights into Japanese culture and education practices, which she plans to incorporate into her teaching strategy upon her return.
