Corporate Presentations

 

Fairview, the operator of international schools following the International
Baccalaureate curriculum, is pleased to announce that two principals from the
Fairview schools network have delivered presentations at corporate events in
Malaysia this week.

 

Dr Vincent Chian, Principal of the Fairview's school in Kuala Lumpur,
presented to the British Malaysian Society's Trade and Investment Forum held
on Tuesday 19 November 2024 at the offices of the Malaysian Investment
Development Authority on techniques to drive innovation in education.

 

Professor Dr Gopinathan, Principal of the Fairview's school in Ipoh, Malaysia,
presented at an event in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday 21 November 2024 for
Malaysian businesses seeking to expand into the United Kingdom.

 

In their presentations, Dr Chian and Dr Gopinathan made the following points:

 

·    Fairview's schools have achieved significant accolades in the 46
years that the network has been in operation, including being named as the top
International Baccalaureate school in Malaysia over four consecutive years as
well as being ranked in the top 1% of International Baccalaureate schools in
the world over five consecutive years

·    This has been achieved through a highly competitive cost structure,
with Fairview school fees around half of average International Baccalaureate
school fees in Malaysia

·    With 38% of all international schools having opened since January
2022, there is considerable scope to expand Fairview's business through
acquisition

·    "Building an Ecosystem" through connecting international schools in
the UK and Asia provides added benefit for both students and teachers

·    Schools are naturally operationally geared business models with each
additional student providing incrementally higher profitability

 

Dr Gopinathan's and Dr Chian's presentations are available to download on the
Company's website at www.fairviewplc.uk (http://www.fairviewplc.uk) .

About Fairview International PLC

 

Fairview owns and operates two private independent schools in Malaysia that
offer the International Baccalaureate programme. One of these schools is
located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the other is located in
the southern state of Johor close to the border with Singapore.  These
schools trade under the Fairview brand which was founded in 1978, and were
subsequently acquired by Agodeus Sdn Bhd, a company owned by the Chian family,
in 2012.

 

There are three other schools in Malaysia and one in the United Kingdom that
also trade under the Fairview brand, which are outside of the Company's
group.  All schools in the Fairview network are individually recognised by
the International Baccalaureate Organisation as fully accredited to offer the
IB programme across the primary and middle years; ages 5 to 16, with Fairview
Kuala Lumpur also offering the diploma programme for 16 to 19 year olds.
Each of the schools not owned by the Company use the Fairview brand under
licence from the Company accessing the resources of the Fairview Network.

 

The school in Kuala Lumpur is the largest and flagship school that uses the
Fairview brand, whilst the school in Johor focuses on the expatriate market in
Singapore and so is internationally focused.

 

The Company plans to acquire more schools which can offer international
education including the International Baccalaureate programmes both in Asia
and the UK.  The Company in particular believes there is an opportunity to
acquire underperforming private independent schools in the UK and adapt its
product offering to be authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate
programme.  With a rise in popularity of the International Baccalaureate
programme in both the independent and state sector in the UK, with a growing
acceptance of International Baccalaureate graduates by UK universities, the
Directors believe that the Company's schools will appeal particularly to the
ASEAN, China and Hong Kong market; particularly families looking for an
educational foundation in the UK prior to studying at a UK University.
