Oh man that’s got to be one of the stupidest moves I’ve seen in a long time. Hey, I know. Let’s do a new ad campaign with the bunny sayin’ “Eeeeeh, what’s up doc?!” NAGOYA — A company that has taken over NOVA Corp., the failed English school chain, has opened a new school here, company officials said. ============= G.education, based in Nagoya, remodeled its “EC” English school as a NOVA school and opened it near Nagoya Station in Nakamura-ku. The company will hold meetings for NOVA students and new students on Thursday and Saturday in addition to one it held on Wednesday. The new school can accept about 200 students and it will continue to teach EC students. The new school is set to start lessons next week, according to officials.

Seriously, everything about that sounds like a bad idea. What are they thinking? Also, have they no idea of brand value!? Surely the NOVA brand is now worth dirt in the learning market. What worries me more - teachers so poor from the mess left by “old Nova” that they will be tempted to work for these guys? I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking we’ll be reading “NOVA closes it’s doors again” stories by the summer… On the other hand, maybe I’m far to cynical

It’s a good deal for G.education. Get everything on the cheap, probably only bring back the best locations, and if it still in business in a few years, change the name so everyone will forget. If it doesn’t work out, at least G.education gets its 15 minutes of fame.

Students have to pay 25% of the lesson fees the old Nova still owes them! The new company isn’t back paying teachers either.

Now that is good deal for students pay 25% more for lessons you already paid for… You must be logged in to post a comment. |
