Kumon Malaysia, Malaysia’s largest after-school enrichment programme, plans to open 20 centres over the next two years as part of its expansion strategy to augment its leadership position, bringing to a total of more than 220 centres by 2020.

“In line with our vision to reach out to students throughout Malaysia and continuously create opportunities to promote holistic learning, Kumon Malaysia is embarking on a journey to open more centres to address the growing need for after-school enrichment programmes.

“While this move paves new business opportunities for us, we strongly believe in uncovering the underlying potential in children, and developing a more confident child that eventually would be workforce-ready,” said Kumon Malaysia general manager,  Yosuke Sugawa, General Manager of Kumon Malaysia.

Presently with a student database of over 33,000, Kumon’s expansion plans have been progressing steadily with the opening of 4 new centres in Setia Ecohill (Selangor), Subang Bestari (Selangor), Bandar Tasek Mutiara (Penang) and Taman Pelangi (Johor Bahru) towards the end of 2018.

Additionally, 2 centres in Bintulu (Sarawak) and Bukit Jalil (Kuala Lumpur) respectively, will open within the first quarter of 2019.   

With a track record of over 60 years and presence in over 50 countries and regions, Kumon focuses on helping children achieve their limitless potential through the self-learning method, a method initiated in Japan by an educator Toru Kumon.
The self-learning method is an effective way that provides a strong foundation in learning, where students, from as young as four, are able to progress in Mathematics and English to a level that is comfortable, and not limited to their school-grade levels.
