National Pedagogical University, University of World Languages to Adopt Platform in Regular Classes from September
Plans to Expand to K-12 Public Education and Private Institutes After University Trials... Also in Talks with Vietnam
[E-today] Visang Education is expanding the reach of its AI-based education platform "AllviA" in Uzbekistan.
The company plans to apply the platform to regular classes at two local national universities next month to build a track record,
then broaden its supply to K-12 public education and private educational institutions.
It is also exploring entry into other Asian markets, including Indonesia and Japan.
According to Visang Education on the 3rd, Uzbekistan's National Pedagogical University and the University of World Languages
will begin using AllviA in their regular classes starting next month.
Visang Education has signed contracts with both universities and is preparing for the rollout in regular coursework.
The National Pedagogical University previously piloted AllviA in Korean-language demo classes.
Starting next month, once the semester break ends,
the university will combine AllviA-based "klass+" e-learning classes with regular offline instruction.
The University of World Languages will recruit students for regular classes next month and apply AllviA from the very start of the course.
Unlike the National Pedagogical University, which is expanding usage after a demo phase,
the University of World Languages will adopt the platform in full from the outset of regular classes.
The introduction of the platform into regular coursework at both universities is significant
in that it goes beyond simple textbook or content supply,
integrating a Korean education platform directly into the local classroom operation process.
There are also signs of expanding use cases on the ground.
At the National Pedagogical University, inquiries about using AllviA have reportedly come in from departments other than Korean-language studies.
Although concrete learning outcomes have not yet been compiled since regular classes have not yet begun,
the company says this confirms the potential for platform demand to spread to other academic disciplines within the university.
Visang Education plans to first verify AllviA's educational effectiveness and operational feasibility at local universities,
then gradually expand its business scope to K-12 public education and private educational institutions in Uzbekistan.
The company is also in supply negotiations with other countries.
It is currently discussing usage methods and pricing for AllviA with an educational institution in Indonesia,
a Korean-language center in Japan, and a mid-sized education company in Vietnam.
When Visang Education unveiled AllviA in February this year,
it announced plans for deployment in Uzbekistan and Vietnam as well as entry into Japan and Thailand.
The rollout of regular classes at the two Uzbek universities marks the point at which those earlier plans are moving into actual operation.
Visang Education is focused on the fact that, while education platforms face higher market-entry barriers than textbook or content exports,
they accumulate users and data once adopted.
The company judges that it can secure a long-term business foundation through lock-in effects
—where switching costs rise once a platform is adopted—and network effects,
where value increases as the user base grows.
A Visang Education official said, "Education platforms are harder to enter than textbooks or content, but once you gain a foothold, they have a long lifecycle."
The official added, "We are pursuing this business with the goal of growing AllviA—a K-edutech platform that connects platform, data, and AI—into a global standard platform."
