QQ English Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; CEO: Yorimitsu Fujioka) has entered into a partnership agreement with Tawaramoto Town, Nara Prefecture (Mayor: Hirofumi Takae) using the Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur system. This collaboration leverages QQ English's human and educational resources to support the town's 'Tsunagu Global Education Project' and build a framework for improving English education quality. The goal is to create opportunities for children to experience English and diverse cultures, ultimately fostering local population growth and global engagement.
Under this agreement, QQ English personnel will be dispatched to Tawaramoto Town to support English education in kindergartens and elementary schools and organize English-themed events. Tawaramoto, located in central Nara with a population of 30,000, aims to broaden children's international horizons. While practical English is now mandatory in primary schools, municipalities often face challenges in securing specialized talent. By collaborating with QQ English, which employs approximately 3,000 full-time Filipino teachers and provides online English education to students in over 30 countries, the town seeks to address these challenges.
The partnership will involve:
- Planning measures to improve English education in kindergartens and elementary schools.
- Supporting the 'Tsunagu Global Education Project'.
- Organizing events to make English familiar to children.
- Other initiatives for international education and global talent development.
Mayor Hirofumi Takae commented, 'We want to provide an educational environment that expands children's future possibilities by enriching their exposure to English.' Jun Kajiwara, Director of QQ English, added, 'English is a vital skill that opens doors for the future. We are happy to contribute to children's growth and global outlook.'
