The history of ef education
This is an educational group founded by 1965 Swedish young people from Bertil Hult. At that time, ef was still in its early stage, and its concept was simple: take Swedish high school students to Britain to learn English. And this seemingly simple business idea-learning language and culture on the spot, has given EF unlimited prospects.
In 2008, EF Education was established for 43 years. It has spread all over the world in more than 50 countries, helped more than150,000 students, and has more than 26,000 employees and teachers. Has been firmly seated in the position of the world's largest private English education institution. EF has 10 subsidiaries and non-profit organizations, which are mainly devoted to language learning, study abroad and degree courses, and are determined to turn the world into an English classroom.
The future of EF education: Nowadays, people are eager to understand exotic lifestyles and unreasonable language expressions, and the future of EF education arises at the historic moment. EF Education adheres to the concept of breaking down the barriers of language, culture and region, and allows students to experience the best English teaching experience through studying abroad, studying English at home or studying English online.
