Hong Kong to Test NET Teachers

I read in the South China Morning Post that native English speakers hired to teach in Hong Kong schools via the NET grant now need to score 7.5 or more on the IELTS (no alternative tests are accepted).

Stories about native speakers who must take an English test are always good for a few clicks.

I recently spoke to a pharmacist who earned his degree in the United Kingdom, but must submit a TOEFL score before he can start working in the United States.
