Pingu’s English Thailand has been officially invited by the Ministry of Education to exhibit at the 44th National Book Fair and 14th Bangkok International Book Fair 2016 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center from 30th March to 3rd April 2016.
A great achievement, as the invitation officially endorses Pingu’s English to all public schools in Thailand as a shortlisted company for early education English Curriculum provision and teaching.
In fact, all English teachers and supervisors of public schools across the Kingdom of Thailand have been invited by the Ministry of Education to attend the International Book Fair, specifically to select the program for the coming academic year which starts in May.
Pingu’s English Thailand will not only exhibit, but will also give workshops in the English Zone of the International Book Fair.
The importance of this International Book Fair is proof that Thai cultural activities are becoming increasingly popular and that Bangkok is evolving into an international platform for education and cultural exchange.
The International Book Fair is an annual event that brings together public and private school teachers, writers and publishers across all genres. This year’s theme is “The World is a Novel”.
Debates and talks covering issues such as which works should be translated and which books and programs are to be included in the coming academic year, will take place at the International Book Fair.
This year’s event is certainly a significant milestone for Dr. Nipat Ungpakornkaew, Master Licence for Pingu’s English in Thailand since 2009. “Thailand has a market of 5 million students aged 3-8 years and considerable numbers of entrepreneurs interested in our “start earning from learning” model. Pingu’s English has no competitor in the market to rival it’s unique teaching method. We have been able to develop an extensive network of franchisees in 7 years, with the flexible preschool business model that Pingu’s English offers.
“We are proud to be here today and being officially recognized nationwide and internationally as a well reputed and consolidated English training franchise for early education in Thailand” says Mr. Ungpakornkaew.
