Kumon Philippines adapts to children’s safety and education needs amidst pandemic
“We must adapt, and Kumon is adapting to meet your needs – parents, students, and franchisees,” said Mr. PJ De Guzman, Assistant General Manager for Business Development of Kumon Philippines, during the 9th Philippine Franchise Association e-Kapihan.

According to Mr. De Guzman, even with the changes brought about by the pandemic, parents continue to give importance to two things: their children’s safety and their children’s education. An education provider that can deliver good results without a classroom set-up and address the need for safety will be in high demand. Yes, Kumon can fulfill both needs.

Mr. De Guzman shared that in terms of safety, the Kumon Centers nationwide have moved from a “twice-a-week in the Center face-to-face set-up” to online instruction and consultation through the My Kumon app and Homework Exchange program. As for the education aspect, the Kumon Method of Learning has always focused on self-learning and independent daily study – with the Kumon worksheets designed for self-learning and with the Kumon students being trained to study independently daily.

It was emphasized by Mr. De Guzman that Kumon is a brand that continues to adapt and develop other ways for children to study in the new normal. “We believe that if we have created a trustworthy brand, then, even in these difficult times, parents will continue to turn to us to help develop their children. And if we can foster a genuine relationship with these parents and show them how their children are growing, they will stay with us for the long term through thick and thin.”
