J-Cast
In explaining how business went from bad to worse, GEOS executive Hitomi Suhara said that the collapse of Lehman Brothers (and the ensuing recession) resulted in fewer students. She said that GEOS was trying to cut 1.2 billion yen in costs (roughly $12.8 million USD) but was unable to do so due to the drop in revenue. A GEOS lawyer also said that the company had negotiated with its banks to extend loan repayments, but fewer students meant GEOS couldn't carry out its restructuring plans, and the company eventually ran out of money.

METI statistics show the drop in student numbers to be drastic. In February 2007, there were approximately 750 thousand students taking foreign language lessons. By 2008, the number was halved to 360 thousand. One factor in the decline is the kyuufukukin allowance to help people find work. It paid 40% of tuition fees up to 200 thousand yen. In October 2007, the allowance was cut to 20% or a maximum of 100 thousand yen. Then came the collapse of Lehman Brothers which forced many households to cut education expenses from their budgets.

From the ashes of the collapse of large eikaiwas smaller schools have emerged offering cheap lessons at around 8,000 yen a month. There are also Internet-based classes which are yet cheaper. While the large schools couldn't withstand the deflationary pressures on them, smaller schools are bound to take their place as the language market retructures.

Comment: The first thing that came to mind was that J-Cast was equating the large schools to the dinosaurs. It's an apt comparison as the collapse of Nova and Lehman Brothers can be seen as extinction events that changed everything. There are new rules in play and the model of large schools charging everything up front is going the way of the dinosaur, making space for the small, furry schools to thrive.

teaching for food
There are quite a few teachers now taking on private students for food or rent money as our April salaries weren't paid.Who knows when we'll get paid next or if we'll still have a job in 3 months. Some of my students have been offering me food and housing while I wait to get some money. I got out a couple of weeks back and now I have a new job. You better ask a lot of questions like did your rent money get paid to Leos Palace? Nova teachers were scammed out of the same situation.Students know what is going on and mine will not renew.
