Vezetői összefoglaló (AI)

• GoStudent plans to launch a bilingual all-day school in Vienna in September 2027. The school is to be established in partially vacant office space at the company headquarters in the Nordbahnviertel district; a pedagogical concept, a curriculum proposal, and structural modifications are still required.
• CEO Felix Ohswald is focusing on a combination of online and in-person learning. At the end of October, there were 30 GoStudent centers; according to Ohswald, the company is currently opening four locations per month.
• According to the article, in-person tutoring already accounts for approximately 60 percent of revenue. GoStudent also operates 80 Lernquadrat locations in Austria and 900 Studienkreis locations in Germany; in August 2026, the company acquired 50 Berlitz language school locations with 240 employees.
• After a loss of €220 million in 2022, GoStudent cut approximately 90 percent of its then 2,000 employees and withdrew from more than ten countries. A turnaround was achieved in 2024. The article’s figures show total revenue of €200 million for 2025, including Berlitz, and EBITDA of €20 million.
• The article also addresses criticism of AI-generated recordings of lessons, which, according to Handelsblatt, were sometimes made against the will of teachers and students. Ohswald says parents want such recordings; the internet ombudsman’s office reports slightly more complaints than in the previous year.
