The Japanese government plans to give Filipinos and Indonesians seeking to become nurses and caregivers in Japan an extra year in the country to prepare for qualifying exams, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida said Tuesday.
The special measure is based on the low passing rates so far for the prospective healthcare workers from the two Southeast Asian countries, who eventually hope to gain employment in Japan under bilateral free trade accords.
The move will benefit about 500 candidate nurses and caregivers who came to Japan without undergoing six-month Japanese language training sessions and help boost their chances in passing the Japanese qualifying exams.
