“De Men has grown rapidly in the number of students and brands thanks to the implementation of online teaching. In the past, we didn't want to teach art online because it was an emotional subject and needed face-to-face instruction. After we found ClassIn, we found we could solve problems that we could not do with online teaching.”
Huynh Tran Huy Thinh, Founder and CEO De Men Online School
Problems
For De Men, waves of lockdowns directly led to low enrollment and difficulties with student retention. Also, because of long social distancing without a comeback plan, De Men was forced to close four branches to cut down losses. Additionally, with the backdrop of covid-induced economic difficulties, parents are reducing the budget for art education.
Unstable and inconsistent school operations due to covid suspensions
Lack of high-quality teaching resources in the central region of Vietnam
Inadequate family/parent funding for art education
