G.communication Co. will hire some teachers from schools that it isn't taking over from defunct Geos Corp. because it is currently experiencing a manpower shortage, G.communication President Hideo Sugimoto told The Japan Times on Wednesday.

"Some teachers left (the Geos schools) we took over because they weren't getting paid," Sugimoto said in an interview in G.communication's Tokyo office.

Sugimoto said he doesn't know how many teachers his company will hire from the Geos schools that will be shut down. G.communication has already said it will keep all of the employees at Geos schools it is taking over.
