「① Combining in-person and online classes in each of the group and individual learning divisions」

「In some areas, we suspended in-person classes for a certain period in line with school closures, but by delivering our video classes online and using communication tools to maintain contact with families, we were able to proceed with the curriculum as usual.」

「During the class suspension period, we worked to counter the decline in operating results by: ① making extensive use of recorded online video classes and introducing remote live classes; and ② strengthening our relationships with students and their parents by telephone and online, and developing tools to encourage students’ motivation to study. As a result, we were able to minimize the decline in enrollments and substantially reduce withdrawals during the academic year.」

「In line with the school closures, we suspended students’ attendance at our school buildings and instead delivered video classes to their homes, while thoroughly managing their studies by telephone and through a dedicated app. As a result, we were able to minimize the decline in new enrollments and reduce withdrawals during the academic year.」

「In the post-COVID new normal, live classes and remote classes delivered online are expected to be conducted in parallel, each making use of its respective strengths. The company aims to further develop the expertise in operating remote classes gained during school closures and establish a new, forward-looking class model.」
