An online-learning innovation

Technology of Internet Plus transforms landscape of education in China

More than 20,000 students from 31 junior middle schools in Beijing's Tongzhou district have two teachers for each subject. One is a class-based teacher at their school; the other is a Beijing Excellent Teacher who offers regular tutoring and personalized tutoring online.

These students are benefiting from Beijing's Middle School Teachers Online Tutoring Service Platform, a project initiated by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and first adopted in Tongzhou. It encourages core teachers from Beijing's public middle schools to offer real-time tutoring for free, especially to students at less advantaged schools.
