香港教育國際(01082.HK)澄清員工薪金支付爭議已解決 料年度收益減30%至40%
阿思達克 07-22 09:29
香港教育國際(01082.HK)公布,集團注意到,於今年7月19日,若干網上新聞報導指集團旗下以「現代教育」品牌經營的7間教育中心(中學補習社)當中,有6間已於今年上半年結業,並拖欠員工薪金;及集團旗下以羅逸雅芭蕾舞爵士舞學校品牌經營的6間專業舞蹈學院當中,有5間已於今年2月及4月結業,並拖欠已預付的學費。

集團澄清,在關閉若干中學補習社的過程中,數名個別員工與集團就支付員工最終薪金的金額出現爭議。然而,目前有關關閉中學補習社的所有該等爭議及所有員工薪金支付已全部解決。在一般情況下,倘舞蹈學院分校結業,舞蹈學院的政策為重新安排課堂而非退款。然而,鑑於爆發2019冠狀病毒病屬特殊情況且前所未有,故集團正考慮與其客戶就已預付課堂作出特別安排。集團將與受影響客戶保持聯繫,以期和平解決有關事宜。

另外,由於有關因素,集團預期截至今年6月30日止年度的收益按年減少約30%至40%。公司指,參加中學文憑試的考生人數減少,導致中學補習服務的需求萎縮。去年下半年,集團受到長期政治事件的嚴重打擊,由今年起,集團的業務營運進一步受到疫情爆發及長期疫情困擾的不利影響,有大量面授課堂被迫取消或改為網上課堂。該等因素對於私人教育行業帶來重大挑戰及不利影響。集團正盡最大努力調整其業務模式,將更多課堂改為網上教學。因此,集團不得不透過關閉位於不同地點的中學補習社及舞蹈學院,將原本於傳統課堂授課的規模縮減。

集團稱,將繼續為其網上教學分配更多資源,另一方面,集團亦認為傳統課堂教學的方式從某種意義上來說是不可替代,故集團將考慮在適當時候重開中學補習社及舞蹈學院。
