Pingu’s English Indonesia have just announced another unit licensing deal for their children’s English language program within the territory, this time in the North Sumatra capital city of Medan. The licensing agreement was signed between PT Impact Teaching Center, the Master Licensee of Pingu’s English for Indonesia, and CV. Mulya Abadi, the enthusiastic local entrepreneur who will launch the eighth center for Pingu’s English in Indonesia in June 2013. The center will also be the third one located outside Jakarta.
Commenting on the deal, Ms. Mulyanti, President of CV. Mulya Abadi said:
“There is no doubt of the wide range of benefits to children acquiring proficiency in the English language at an early age. I am genuinely excited to be investing in the Pingu’s English program, and giving the children of Medan the unique opportunity to learn English through this fun-filled and effective course”.
Pingu’s English is a three-level language course based on the popular children’s character, Pingu™. Transforming the way that young children learn English, the unique methodology uses a wide variety of imaginative activities and multimedia resources to teach children of 3-8+ years the vital skill of communicating in English.
Pingu’s English is developed by the Linguaphone Group, one of the best language training providers in the world. The Pingu brand is owned by HIT Entertainment, one of the world’s leading children’s entertainment producers and rights-owners and division of Fisher-Price.
