Kumon, the Japanese leader in after school education, has opened its doors in the Kingdom of Cambodia. The world’s largest after-school enrichment programme marked the opening in Cambodia with two ceremonies held in its Toul Kork and Boeung Keng Kang centres this week.
Cambodia marks the establishment’s 50th country – a feather in the Kumon cap of achievements. “I am aware of the strong economic growth in Cambodia and the need to develop the next generation of youths. However, I am concerned that there maybe limited access to high quality education. Thus, I decided to open Kumon centres in Cambodia to meet the expectations of parents for high quality education,” commented Atsushi Yamada, president of Kumon Asia & Oceania.
Founded in 1954 in Japan, the Kumon method was born out of a father’s love for his son. Before the opening of centres in Cambodia, they are located in 49 countries and regions, with more than 4 million students enrolled worldwide. By discovering the potential of each child and developing their abilities to the maximum, Kumon aims to foster sound, capable people and thus, contribute to the global community.
