  • According to information published by the PRC government, Tsingda Education’s target population market as of December 31, 2010 is approximately 360 million individuals.
  • Based on industry data, market scale of online education in 2008 in the PRC amounted to approximately $5.1 Billion with 2012 projections reaching $10.6 Billion. Moreover, online education learners in China will climb to 23.1 million in 2010, twice as much as that in 2007.
  • Chinese online education market will experience an average growth of 150% in the next five years.
