Global Education (NASDAQ:GEDU)

We are a leading provider of educational courses and related services in China with a focus on foreign language training and test preparation. According to CCID, we are the leading provider of test preparation services in China for the International English Language Testing System, or IELTS, with the largest market share in terms of revenue and student enrollments in 2009. IELTS has become the most widely taken test of English-language proficiency for Chinese studying abroad, with demand driven by a growing number of Chinese choosing to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in countries that predominantly rely on IELTS scores, such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and by increasing acceptance of IELTS scores by colleges and universities in the United States. We believe that our “Global” education brand has become one of the most well-known and respected brands in China’s education market, and has helped us to attract students, faculty and business partners and maintain our premium position in the market. Leveraging our brand and operational expertise in China’s education market, we have expanded our service offerings to address multiple stages of a student’s education and career, from children’s after-school courses, to test preparation and study abroad services for high school and university students, to adult professional certification test preparation and language training.
