Wasting no time in
leveraging the powerful tools of its newly acquired subsidiary, Sibling Group
Holdings recently announced that it has agreed upon the terms of a partnership
with a selection of secondary schools in Hong Kong.
In order to better prepare
students attending Lok Sin Tong Schools for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary
Education (HKDSE) final exam, a test taken by college-bound seniors throughout
the Special Administrative Region of China, the non-profit organization will
use Writing Planet™, a web-based writing practice tool produced by Sibling
Group’s newest subsidiary, Urban Planet Mobile (UPM). The partnership, which
was entered between UPM and Integrative Counseling Services Limited, could
provide access to a host of schools with enrollment totals topping 9,000
pupils.
“There is a growing
emphasis in the HKSDE on English language proficiency, and in particular
competencies-based skills such as reading and writing,” noted Peppina Tse, Vice
President of Integrated Counselling Services. In particular, students learning
English struggle with improving writing skills. According to a report from the
University of North Carolina, writing is an extension of listening and speaking,
and, therefore, students must have established confidence in their language
abilities before written output can be effectively improved.
It is in this area that
Sibling Group’s web-based writing practice tool is most valuable to
international learning markets. “It has been proven that more writing practice
with immediate feedback using programs such as Writing Planet can lead to
improved scores,” continued Tse.
The terms of the initial
partnership include several of Lok Sin Tong’s secondary schools, and the
international foothold in one of the world’s most highly populated and rapidly
developing regions puts Sibling Group’s potential for growth at an all-time
high.
According to a report from
World Bank, enrollment in secondary schools throughout Hong Kong is trending
upwards towards 90 percent of qualifying students. With more than 1,100 schools
throughout the city, the demand for English educational solutions such as
Writing Planet is immeasurable. With successful results from its partnership
with Integrative Counseling Services and Lok Sin Tong, Sibling Group’s
potential for international growth is effectively limitless.
