VANCOUVER,
June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - China
Education Resources, Inc. ("CER") (TSXV: CHN) (OTCQX: CHNUF), a
leading technology provider of online learning, training courses
and social media for teachers, students and education
professionals, is pleased to announce the conclusion of an
exclusive arrangement to customize CER's leading School Platform
(CER-SP) for Shanxi Province.
Further to CER's May 1,
2012 press release, the Company is pleased to announce that
it has signed an exclusive agreement with the Teaching &
Research Division of Shanxi Provincial Education Department to
customize the Company's School Platform (CER-SP) for Shanxi Province. The Teaching & Research
Division will organize academic experts and distinguished teachers
in Shanxi Province to develop
video and written content. This new digital content will be
uploaded to the CER-SP and, together with CER's existing content
(which includes 100,000 lesson plans and other comprehensive
education resources), will be available to teachers and students
for education reform in Shanxi
Province. Education reform in Shanxi emphasizes interaction among teachers
and students using digital education resources and multimedia
equipment in classrooms. The Education Department of Shanxi
Province has selected two counties for its initial pilot program
and plans to follow it up by a provincial conference to recommend
the school platform to all the schools in Shanxi Province in October 2012.
Shanxi Province
is one of the leading provinces in the K to 12 education sector.
Shanxi emphasizes a
student-centered teaching philosophy and has been selected by
China's Central Government to be
the demo province for China's
education digitization plan. Shanxi
Province has more than 17,000 schools with 360,000 teachers
and 5.7 million students.
"We are very pleased to reach this important
milestone and we expect the Shanxi
school platform will be an example of the high-growth potential of
our products and business model in other provinces." said
Chengfeng Zhou, CEO, China Education
Resources. "CER has over one million teachers registered with our
portal and been engaged by 14 provinces to provide online training
for their teachers. Adding Shanxi,
which is a large and important province, to our customer-base is
further evidence of the successful commercialization of our leading
edge products and services."
The Company has developed an unparalleled and
broad portfolio of education products that it believes is
unavailable in any other education market. It has been market
tested and developed in the world's largest education market. The
Company intends to explore the potential to provide these online,
networked products and services in other education markets. It may
launch these products on its own or in partnership with domestic
industry players. The Company's goal is to become the leading
internet education service platform, content provider and social
network to individuals and organizations in the education
sector.
In collaboration with China's education administrators and experts,
China Education Resources has been helping to transform the
curriculum of the world's largest educational system. Recognizing
the need to address education reform changes, China Education
Resources has created educational tools and curriculum for
China's entire kindergarten
through twelfth grade system. The Company is playing an integral
part in transforming China's
educational system by helping to convert the existing educational
system from a memory-based learning system to a creative thinking
and interactive approach. Presently, China Education Resources has
over one million kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers
registered through its Web portal. For more information, please
