Quality education is costly

Quality education costs money, for the hardware (expensive rent for good location and space), software (salaries for quality teacher, a strong management team, research and technical support.) Some would go for the best they can afford because infancy comes only once in a life. Some would shop around for cheaper alternatives.
It is a matter of priorities. It is a matter of choice.

In order to attract more Oxford graduates to join our internship program(re: the preceding blog), we plan to pay off 50% of their student loan if they stay with Le Beaumont Language Centre for 2 1/2 years. The great majority of students in UK are burdened with a huge student loan, which often comes to around HK$400,000.

Le Beaumont differentiates itself as a vibrant new start up compnay, with a cutting-edge program. Le Beaumont is a research as well as teaching centre, which stands out from the pack doing only teaching. Le Beaumont is probably leading the world in the R & D on early brain development and its relations with language acquisition.

Le Beaumont has develops its own culture, giving priority to human value, and emphasising on research, innovation and breakthrough. We have attracted a 1st Class Honours graduate and a Master degree holder from Oxford, a handsome young guy called Patrick Carr, to work out the prototype of our Gifted Babies program.

Sam, the Director is a retired top Civil Servant with international acclaim. He developed the retraining program which was rated by the OECD as the most innovative and cost effective retraining in the world in 1994 and won the Asian Management Award in 1996. The Director will act as a personal mentor to the interns, developing leadership skill, positve work attitudes and habits for success. The interns will be lost in a huge bureaucracy.

The interns will have a wonderful time with babies and toddlers, observing how they grow up from month to month, how they they focus, how their attention span increase, how they become more curious, and picking up the Oxford English, with round vowels and clear diction.

The interns will become experts with babies and will become well informed and most popular parents, a big bonus apart from their remuneration and financial rewards. Let us look forward to it.
