EQuest & KNE form strategic partnership in education
Move marks a significant step on the journey to expanding opportunities for Vietnamese students to access high-quality education.
The EQuest Education Group (EQuest) and the Khoi Nguyen Education Group (KNE) announced the forming of a strategic partnership on December 5, in which EQuest will become the key shareholder and sit on KNE’s Board of Directors.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kieu Oanh, Co-Founder and General Director of KNE, said the successful cooperation between KNE and EQuest is the result of a very long working process between leaders from both sides to understand, share common core values, and unify strategic directions.
“For KNE, this is a very important milestone after more than ten years of being in operations and starts a new chapter for its member schools in the application of modern educational technology (edtech) platforms, advancing and diversifying educational programs, as well as continuing to develop strongly in both quantity and quality,” she said.
With a holistic and integrated education ecosystem, students at EQuest and KNE will be able to benefit from enlarged resources and advantages as well as domestic and international cooperative relationships that enhance the quality of learning outcomes for students aiming to study at leading universities in Vietnam and overseas.
EQuest and KNE will share financial resources and best management practices, exchange teaching resources, technology platforms, and development experience from the top schools in the two systems. Students in the two systems will also have more opportunities to access and experience world-class training programs.
In accordance with the agreement on a strategic partnership, representatives from EQuest will be appointed to the Board of Directors at KNE, including Dr. Nguyen Quoc Toan, Dr. Dam Quang Minh, Ms. Annabelle Vultee, and Mr. David Armstrong.
“We will always respect and preserve KNE’s existing values as well as the enthusiasm of the founders and team to further develop Vietnamese education,” said Dr. Toan, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of EQuest. “The primary goal of this strategic cooperation is to help transform CIS, BCIS, AES, and CVK into the most prestigious and most trusted international and bilingual school system in Ho Chi Minh City and southern provinces.”
