C vocational ed (01756.HK) announced that the number of students and tuition levels in the group's schools for the 2024/2025 academic year has increased. The number of students in the group's schools for the 2023/2024 academic year increased by about 1,300 from 52,740 in the 2022/2023 school year, while the number of students in the 2024/2025 academic year continues to increase by about 2,000. The growth mainly comes from the number of students at Guangzhou Huali Institute and Guangzhou Huali Technology College.

The board of directors believes that the increase in the number of students is mainly attributed to the following reasons: 1) Implementing the central government's requirement of "ensuring employment stability and improving people's livelihoods", extending the years of education for the labor force, and continuously expanding the scale of higher and vocational education; 2) The group's vocational-oriented high-quality courses and professional employment services have won wide recognition and acceptance among students; and 3) The new campuses and campus expansions that the group has put into use have provided capacity for growth.
