He was once told his entire class ranked in the bottom 10th percentile of their age group. He calls it one of the strangest things a school ever did to a child. He now runs 100+ schools. And that experience sits behind every decision he has made about what education should and should not do to a young person.In this episode of the #EdVancePodcast, Ng Yi Xian, Group CEO of EtonHouse International Education Group, gets direct about what the sector consistently gets wrong on culture, AI and affordable education. The discussion unpacks why financial buyers keep failing in education when operators succeed, why most ed tech has spent years building solutions for problems schools do not actually have, and why the schools winning in Asia right now are the ones that chose curiosity over efficiency when it was still an unpopular position to take.Download, subscribe and share the EdVance Podcast for conversations with the world's most influential education leaders.
