What Hailiang Education Group does

Hailiang Education Group (海亮教育科技服务集团) is a privately held Chinese education services company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province. It operates a platform-plus-modules model delivering comprehensive school management services, diversified educational services, and autonomous education (including proprietary special high schools) to K-12 schools and local government education bureaus across multiple Chinese provinces. As of December 2023, the group served approximately 100,000+ enrolled students and tens of thousands of teachers across partner schools.

Underlying delivery rests on an education technology platform that integrates school administration, academic management, teacher training, and campus operations. The company markets three core service lines — Comprehensive Management Services, Diversified Educational Services, and Autonomous Education — supported by service modules in Education Technology, Teacher Training, Smart Logistics/Backend (智慧后勤), Preschool Education, and a public welfare arm through the Hailiang Rural Education Revitalization Foundation. Notable academic outcomes cited include near-3-year Tsinghua-Peking University admissions results from special high school programs, QS Top 100 university placements, and achievements across the five major olympiad disciplines.

Revenue mechanics combine long-term managed-service contracts with local governments and partner schools (managed services), professional services such as teacher training and career technology (多元教育服务), and tuition/operations from company-operated proprietary schools (自主办学). GTM is enterprise field sales, B2G-centric, with distribution built on direct partnerships with local education authorities and supplemented by an official website, WeChat public account, news/media presence, and a recruitment portal. No public pricing, financials, or listing data are disclosed in the source material.
