MODERN Montessori International Group (MMI) is starting to reap the rewards of the groundwork they laid out in the last few years. On Monday, the preschool education provider marked a significant milestone with the official opening of its first preschool in Myanmar.
Fast forward to September this year and MMI expects its first school in Binh Duong, Vietnam - near Ho Chi Minh City - to be operational, with a second school in Haiphong, near Hanoi, slated to open in 2017.
In preparation for its expansion in Indonesia, it has already set up its first teacher-training college. MMI aims to set up between five and 10 new preschools in Indonesia once they have established a sufficient supply of Montessori trained teachers to support the schools, says MMI chairman and chief executive officer, T Chandroo.
