Our History
UE 3G Abacus Pte Ltd & U E Learning Centre
3rd Generation (2-in-1) Abacus, or 3G Abacus, is a new concept that combines 9-bead and traditional abacus. It allows students to pick up the technique of Abacus more quickly, and relate better to mainstream Mathematics.
Our founder, Mdm Chee, who has over a decade of experience in Abacus training, leads a team of high quality instructors to expand the awareness of the 3G abacus and the growing need for abacus training in Singapore and around the world.
U E Learning Centre has been established since 2002. We have come through these years from initially having insufficient human and physical resources, to our current status of having nearly 100 trained instructors around Singapore. Every year, we have more than 1000 new students in various locations of Singapore, such as Residential Committees (RCs), Community Centres (CCs), private education centres, kindergartens and schools etc.
In the next 10 years, we look forward to welcoming more overseas franchisees. With more students worldwide, we hope to expand the global reach of our annual International Competition. We also have plans to create E-Learning Systems for 3G Abacus in the near future.
