I believe in edutainment, especially for the adult learner who is juggling competing time demands and would opt for a Cold Play song rather than a Chinese lesson on their iPhone.
To some extent, teaching is attracting. The best teachers are those who thrive under the spotlight, who own the lecture hall, who inspire students to give up evenings at the bar for the classroom. And no one does edutainment the way cram schools in Hong Kong do it. If there’s not already an HBR case study on them, there ought to be one. On a recent trip to Hong Kong, I witnessed the power of edutainment and the cult of celebrity teachers.
