K.I.T. eLearning announced today that it is partnering with the China Educational Services Center (CESC), a division of the Ministry of Education, to distribute its online masters programs in China. This is the first time that a foreign company has been invited by an organization affiliated with the Chinese government to deliver online academic programs on a national basis.
K.I.T eLearning will offer the University of Liverpool's Master of Science in Information Technology and Master of Business Administration to active professional people, using an online virtual classroom that can be delivered directly to the home, workplace, or school, anywhere in China. Students will be able to complete either program in about eighteen months, without the need to travel to a residential center or interrupt their professional activities to study abroad.

"We were convinced by the high-value opportunity that a partnership with K.I.T. eLearning represents for some of our most promising young people," said Hou Honglei, President of the CESC. "We expect great demand for both programs, given the critical need for qualified leadership in both the I.T. field and management." Students based in China will participate in online classrooms with other professional people from around the world, dialoguing with them to achieve insight, skills, and cutting-edge knowledge in the critical areas that impact their daily job performance.

"We're delighted, but not surprised, that the CESC selected K.I.T. eLearning to be the first provider of online academic programs to China," said Shai Reshef, chairman of K.I.T. "This confirms our vision of a growing world market for educational services that provide unique opportunities for active professional people, and the organizations that employ them, by being highly-tailored to each individual's schedule, work environment, and career needs".
