PR TIMESGecipe Inc. provides metaverse educational content such as eSports English, an online English communication lesson where students learn within the world of games.
Additionally, InterFirst Co., Ltd. provides a wide range of educational support services and career support, including the development of the Epoch Sogo Kyoiku Kenkyujo, a learning support business for elementary through high school students.
While eSports English has primarily been taken by students at home until now, the companies decided to develop a package that allows students to take the course at educational facilities such as cram schools and after-school clubs. This move aims to deliver the high learning effectiveness of this content to more educational settings.
With the full-scale rollout of this package, they aim to expand high-quality services that can be utilized in more educational settings through this partnership.

PR TIMES"We are very pleased to have entered into a business partnership with Gecipe Inc.
I feel a great affinity between the education that develops the potential of each individual that our company has valued until now and the innovative learning experience of eSports English provided by Gecipe.
We have always thought about how to realize proactive learning where children head toward learning on their own.
I am confident that the eSports English developed by Gecipe Inc. is a learning experience that can be one of those answers.
Through this partnership, we will deliver new options to educational settings and work together to create an environment where children like learning even more.
And to ensure that this initiative becomes a force that further opens up the future for children, we will continue to take on challenges with all our might."

Comment From the Representative Director and CEO of Gecipe Inc., Takuya Manabe
PR TIMES"We are very pleased to have signed a business partnership agreement with InterFirst.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for their resonance with our business.
Until now, eSports English has been provided primarily in an online format where students participate from their homes.
However, there is great value in a format where a group takes lessons together at educational facilities and the like.
We know that by students cooperating and learning together offline, the experience value of eSports English improves and the learning effect also increases.
Through the partnership with InterFirst, we will expand our business so that we can provide an environment where students can learn English while having fun at many educational facilities in the future."
