Contingency measures against Novel Coronavirus for all Kumon Education Centres

17th February 2020

Dear Kumon Students and Parents,

Contingency measures against Novel Coronavirus for all Kumon Education Centres

Thank you for your continuous support and understanding of the Kumon Method of Learning!

In view of the rising number of confirmed cases of the Novel Coronavirus and in response to the guidelines regarding the school suspension until 16^th March 2020 announced by the Education Bureau on 13^th February 2020, with immediate effect, all Kumon classes will continuously be suspended until 31^st March 2020.

Below are the updated measures in March for your kind attention:

1. To show our gratitude towards parents’ continuous support and trust, the tuition fee in March will be adjusted to 50% of the original fee;
2. Parents are encouraged to communicate and discuss with our instructors regarding the arrangement of worksheet exchange, such as exchange worksheets in person at the Kumon Education centres or by mail from our instructors, so that our students can keep learning at home;
3. Although face-to-face instruction cannot be arranged at the moment, our instructors will keep closely monitoring our students' learning progress through WhatsApp, video call, SMS or WeChat etc, in order to provide the just-right instruction and advice or even the progress to suit the learning situation of the students. Parents are welcomed to keep close contact and discussion with our instructors;
4. All Kumon Education Centres will remain open during the suspension period for all enquiries, homework exchange and other administrative work. Please be noted that ALL centres will NOT open to any classes.

We believe that by persistent daily learning, students can gain knowledge and at the same time further consolidate a good learning habit, time management skill, self-learning ability and have the confidence to face the challenge. The benefits of all these Kumon Method of Learning are solid proof from the positive feedback we received from the parents lately. Thank you once again for the continuous support to Kumon!

A crisis is never scary and there are lots of crisis along with the development of human history. The scariest thing is we dare not to face the crisis and give up to make any changes. The Kumon Method of Learning advocates that "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." Through learning and challenging untaught content, children are cultivated with the ability to find ways to solve problems. Isn't it the most important ability one’s must develop nowadays in order to face the ever-changing future society?

We, hereby, once again to express our sincere gratitude to all our Kumon Parents for your understanding and cooperation lately! The growth of the children largely depends on how much effort and persistence they put on a daily basis. Let’s work together to fight against the epidemic and overcome all the challenges for the better tomorrow of our children!

We will closely monitor the updated situation of the epidemic. Parents can refer to our official websites and Kumon Facebook from time to time for the most updated news or arrangements.

Yours sincerely,

Kumon Hong Kong Co., Ltd.
