In an IR interview, MEIKO NETWORK JAPAN CO.,LTD. revealed the background to the change in representative director from the founder to Okamoto (岡本), as well as the overall framework of its MEIKO Transition 2025 medium-term management plan for the fiscal years ending August 2025 through August 2027. The company plans to expand beyond its education-focused operations into after-school childcare, human resources and wellness.
The appointment of the representative director and the announcement of the medium- to long-term plan were positioned as a turning point for the company. Following the founder's departure, Okamoto (岡本), who joined the company in 2020, became representative director in 2024. The company has set out to grow new businesses while building on the strengths of its existing education operations. The medium-term plan uses “Transition” as its key theme and seeks to transform the business portfolio by applying the company's expertise in recruiting and education.
The company explained its expanded business areas and competitive advantages. Centered on self-directed learning through Meiko Gijuku, it plans to expand beyond education into a broad range of fields, including human resources, wellness and after-school childcare. It particularly emphasized expanding after-school childcare and next-generation education, with the aim of promoting equal access to educational opportunities in local communities.
