What will determine success of language schools in the next 5-10 years

We are looking at factors that will determine success of language schools as service providers in future. To start with, it is necessary to define key terms – teaching and education.

- Teaching is all about teaching an individual. It’s all about methodology, teachers and students.

- Education is about administration of teaching in different aspects. Education is all about logistics.

Now language schools are improving their logistics: reporting, invoicing, CRM systems, digital time-tables, storage of materials etc. But these actions have little effect on the quality of their primary service, it doesn’t make teaching more efficient. Increasing teaching efficiency will bring the main benefits in future and define who will stay in the market and who will leave it. 

What problems should language schools solve in future: 

- Learning must be individual, otherwise it will not bring maximum result. It means that every student has individual approach and a teacher and also a unique learning trajectory.

- Learning must be accessible for every motivated person in any part of the world.

- Learning must be incessant and flexible as people should accept life-long learning model nowadays.

- Learning process must be fast as volumes of knowledge are growing. On the one hand, we must constantly study, but on the other hand we can’t spend too much time on study.

- Greater part of learning will take place online as most of communication and group cooperation will move to the virtual world.

- Learning must take into account the growing chaos and instability of modern world, which becomes more chaotic and less predictable . More chaos and more opportunities.

- Learning must ensure 100% success rate for all learners. Current 3-5% of successful learners point to the faulty educational system.

- Learning must be able to start, finish and resume at any time. No logistic barriers.

- Learning must be affordable but not free. What is given for free is not appreciated and has no effect. Even if a person completes learning without value, he will never achieve good results.

- Learning must be flexible in terms of curriculum and skills. It must be one step ahead of human and technological progress.

- Learning must give competitive advantage to people.

We offer to language schools to get ready for future already today by introducing PushtoLearn platform in the learning process.
