About Xiaoyang Edu

Established in May 2016 by founder and CEO Zhou Lin, Xiaoyang Group operates as a provider of smart education solutions within China's education informatization sector. Zhou Lin possesses over two decades of experience in educational technology and enterprise software management, having previously served as the Global Vice President at Blackboard, a major educational software company. This extensive background in the global education software market informed the strategic direction of Xiaoyang Group.

The company provides smart education solutions primarily to K-12 schools and regional education bureaus across China. Its initial entry into the market was through a course and class scheduling system designed to manage the complexities of China's high school curriculum reforms. The business model focuses on delivering a comprehensive suite of products that address various aspects of school administration and teaching. Revenue is generated through the sale and implementation of these software solutions to educational institutions.

Xiaoyang Group's core product strategy is built on the concept of 'one PaaS, one data middle-end, and one application ecosystem'. This architecture aims to create a unified data platform that breaks down information silos often found in schools with multiple, disconnected software systems. By integrating data from various applications, the platform enables schools and educators to perform more effective analysis and gain insights into teaching and learning processes. The company offers a full-stack product line covering school-level and regional-level needs, with applications for personalized student growth, professional teacher development, and educational management and evaluation. As of late 2020, the company's services were utilized by over 3,000 schools across 29 provinces.
