New Web-Based Education Resources Platform for China - Converge

China Ventures Inc. is testing a new Web-based education resources platform to provide a variety of products and services aimed at the kindergarten to grade 12 market in China. Initially the platform will be tested for six months in 542 schools in 3 Beijing districts, a district in Tianjin City and in Hebei City, with an aggregate enrollment of 474,000 students and 20,800 teachers. The education authorities in each of these areas have signed an agreement with CVI's subsidiary, Today's Teachers Technology and Culture Ltd. ("TTTC") which designates the platform as the exclusive online distributor of educational content developed by the research department of these authorities and will designate a number of schools in each area to participate in the test. The objective of the test is to gauge market acceptance of the platform and better estimate what the education sector will pay for the products and services offered by the platform.
