Young children in Gading Serpong will soon be able to experience a new and entertaining way to learn English when a new Pingu’s English School opens its doors this summer in Indonesia.
On April 8th, 2011, PT. Impact Teaching Center – Pingu’s English Master Licensee for Indonesia – has signed a license agreement with PT. Nusa Capital Indonesia to establish a Pingu’s English School in the Gading Serpong area Tangerang.
