Teewon Digital Media’s Plan -- the only education case in the book


Teewon Digital Media’s international business map -- the comprehensive quality-oriented education solution for Africa is the only education case included in China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation: Case Studies and Plans.


Teewon Digital Media, a subsidiary of China South Media, was the first enterprise in China to break the ice in the overseas education market. It provided a comprehensive quality-oriented education solution for African countries with its accumulated experience in digital education.


On November 23, 2016, the implementation agreement of the first comprehensive education project in China was signed in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. Based on the national conditions and education status of South Sudan, the project helped South Sudan realize the development goals of “New Country, New Education” from top-level education planning, textbook development, teacher training, the construction of ICT teacher training center and textbook printing.


In 2017, the top-level education planning reports of South Sudan, Investigation Report on Education Development in South Sudan, Guide to Information-based Education Construction in South Sudan, and Guide to Education Modernization Construction in South Sudan, are successfully finished.


In addition, Teewon Digital Media undertook the construction of the ICT training center for teacher training in South Sudan. Teachers from South Sudan came to China in batches for training and returned to South Sudan as “seed teachers” to further train local teachers.


On July 14, 2017, the first batch of 745,000 textbooks and equipment for the ICT teacher training center arrived in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. According to the cooperation plan, the project will produce a total of 1.129 million textbooks for South Sudan. These textbooks will be used by 150,000 teachers and students in South Sudan, accounting for about 10 percent of the total number of teachers and students in the country.

“The project must proceed at a certain pace and step, with full respect for the local education system.” Hu Mingda, the vice president of Teewon Digital Media, said, first, Teewon Digital Media, with its own technical advantages and rich experience in similar overseas projects, assisted the education institution of South Sudan in building the digital education platform covering various demands of teaching, research, educational administration, scientific research, security and management, making modern information technology serve all kinds of education participants’ realistic demands which were unable to be met temporarily because of the lack of basic conditions; second, through platform development and resource integration, digital education platform could be used to solve the key problem of unbalanced educational resources, and promote the realization of lifelong learning and learning at any time; finally, the revision and construction of the information technology textbook system would provide knowledge guarantee for learners from the actual classroom teaching level, improve students’ quality in the information age society, and provide quality guarantee for the realization of other values of the project.


After years of effort, the project in South Sudan has achieved the expected goals and results of both sides and achieved positive social benefits. On the basis of respecting local education and the actual situation of South Sudan, this project will take advantage of modern information technology, share the experience of Chinese education, and help them realize the development goal of “New Country, New Education”.

On the basis of the commonness of education development in African countries, Teewon Digital Media will develop targeted comprehensive digital education solutions according to the actual needs of African countries, so that the solutions can be popularized and used in more African countries and help with the development and prosperity of African education.
