ADNOC Expands STEM Training through Kumon
Kumon is a leading international franchisor in the field of supplementary education. In South Africa, the first Kumon Centre opened in 1991 and this brand has since expanded to other 200 franchises. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) recently announced that it has signed a partnership deal with Kumon to pilot the Kumon teaching methods in two ADNOC schools.
This programme is estimated to benefit up to 500 Grade One students in ADNOC schools in 2018/2019 and, after this pilot scheme, will be rolled-out to 10 schools. This agreement clearly represents the developing reach and standing of Kumon as an education franchise.
