The Company was previously engaged in the provision of high quality after-school tutoring programs (“AST”) for primary and secondary school students in the People's Republic of China (the “PRC”) and has realigned to focus on enrichment learning services and learning content solutions in the PRC.
The Company is a smart learning solutions provider in China. The acronym “TAL” stands for “Tomorrow Advancing Life,” which reflects its vision to promote top learning opportunities for learners through both high-quality teaching and content, as well as leading edge application of technology in the learning experience.
Since its inception in 2005, the Company has witnessed tremendous developments in China's learning industry and continued to upgrade our business strategies to capture the new opportunities brought by technology advancement and evolving learning needs. Its widely trusted brand through word-of-mouth referrals and proven capabilities forge us valuable fortune to compete in the evolving learning industry.
The Company s businesses started in 2005 by launching tutoring services mainly for the K-12 age groups in China, and began to explore online learning services afterwards, with the mission to provide engaging and effective learning experiences regardless of the learners' geographic location or socio-economic background. The Company further expanded our offerings by introducing enrichment learning products, launching enterprise product suites and entering overseas markets in recent years. In compliance with regulatory policies promulgated in 2021, the Company ceased offering the K-9 Academic AST Services in the mainland of China at the end of 2021. The Company has since realigned its business focus towards (i) learning services and others, and (ii) learning content solutions to capture evolving customer needs. The Company has continued to integrate technology with learning, promote industry innovation, and lead industry development since its inception. The Company is always full of passion for empowering learners, teachers and learning institutions and keeping a keen prospective for the evolving and developing industry.
The Company has one single operating and reportable segment.
