(1) NEW YEAR’S GREETING FROM MASUMI ORMANDY, CHAIRPERSON, PLS GROUP
Happy New Year, everyone!
With the spread of omicron, it seems like this year’s spring push for new students will again be affected by COVID-19. The pace of change has been accelerated by the pandemic, bringing change to people’s lifestyle and values around the world. The time is ripe to consider what should change, and what should stay the same, to continue striving to live happy lives. As the PLS Group, it’s a key time for us to reconsider what we can do through English education to improve people’s lives.
No matter how convenient our lives become with the increasing power of technology and AI, I hope we can remember and hold on to the human spirit. In the end, that’s what allows us to judge things and move people. It’s not logic that defines our likes and dislikes, but feelings. Understanding, and grasping, the universal human spirit is the key to living happily.
Understanding that spirit begins with a desire to understand others, and to share ourselves. Cultivating those feelings, along with communication skills, is the foundation of education to help people live happily anywhere in the world.
We, the PLS Group, are not only teaching knowledge of English.
By learning to use English, people can find the joy in connecting with others, consider things from various viewpoints, and develop their creativity. This is the kind of genuine communication that will allow us to live happily in new generations to come.
Remember, it’s all about people.
Our ambitions are high – let’s continue to work hard towards them this year!
