Message From MICA (P) No: 078/10/2007 10th Issue | October 2007 Message from CEO What a transformation Singapore has been through in the past three years, remaking herself into a global city! Today, we are enjoying the fruits of this transformation a booming economy, record- high property and stock prices and vibrancy all around. Our education system has taken a global outlook too, with many schools forming collaborations and exchanges with overseas schools, recruiting international students and becoming a global education hub. Just as Singapore found it necessary to remake itself for the global stage, ASKnLearn has in the past three years transformed itself in order to reach its target of being a pan-Asian leader in technology-infused education. Becoming a member of the Educomp Solutions Ltd group has accelerated our transformation. Five members from ASKnLearn visited New Delhi and Bangalore in September for a series of hectic meetings to integrate our operations into the global businesses of Educomp with over 1,700 staff in three continents. We were fascinated by the energy of the group and its diverse reach into various aspects of the education business. This includes professional training of teachers, providing teacher-led multimedia content and systems for private schools (Smartclass), state-wide ICT projects across thousands of schools, operating top quality private schools and providing various portals for learning. With over 10,000 learning modules in various academic subjects from pre-school to college, Educomp can lay claim to having Asias largest K-12 education content repository. Educomps breakneck speed of global expansion saw new acquisitions or investments nearly every two months this year, targeting companies in India, Singapore and North America. This has opened up new areas of B2C (Business to Consumer) education services as well as new learning technologies. As the Asia Pacific HQ for the whole group, ASKnLearn is bringing many of the products and services of the group into Singapore and the region. In this issue, we introduce selected members of the Educomp group and projects to our readers. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to remake ourselves.
