With the overwhelming choice of supplementary education options on the market, and the overwhelming volume of school-work already on young learners’ plates, parents are often unsure about how to help.

This new approach to supplementary learning – daily or weekly “bite-sized” education materials that are in-line with Singapore’s Primary School curriculum – reinforces learning for young students by focusing on quality and consistency instead of quantity.

Complement In-Class Learning

SAP is a leading publishing group specializing in academic materials such as supplementary workbooks, guidebooks, textbooks, reference books, dictionaries and other educational materials.

The SAP education print app offers content which has been handpicked from SAP’s own range of primary school assessment books, delivered on a daily and weekly basis.

Focusing on understanding key concepts through commonly tested questions in examinations, students and parents have direct access to bite-sized practice materials, all aligned to the latest curriculum taught in Singapore’s classrooms, that focus on understanding key concepts through commonly tested questions in examinations.

Fuji Xerox set up office in Myanmar to expand business

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Fuji Xerox is the first in the office equipment industry to open a direct office in Myanmar, with the aim of becoming the market leader in the emerging market within three years – in terms of sales revenue.

Fuji Xerox is setting up office in Myanmar to help expand its business in the developing nation.

Fuji Xerox is setting up office in Myanmar to help expand its business in the developing nation.

The Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (Myanmar Branch) in Yangon began operations on 1 April, 2013 and is headed by its General Manager – Yoshio Hanada.

The branch will be staffed by another Japanese and six local employees.

Since the start of the new government in 2011, Myanmar has been promoting deregulation which is stimulating its economy.

The enactment of the new foreign investment law in 2012 will be leading to the creation of a special economic zone.

The number of foreign corporations, including Japanese companies, entering Myanmar is rapidly increasing, which is likely to boost the country’s economic growth.

Currently, Fuji Xerox provides multifunction devices in Myanmar via a local dealer, Concordia.

Under current regulations, Fuji Xerox is not allowed to have a direct sales force in the country.

The Myanmar Branch will therefore provide the dealer with support in carrying out sales activities and sales consulting services, as well as make proposals for high value-added products such as high-speed color publishing systems.

It will also help accelerate business development for the Government Sector.
