This is in accordance with the company's goal "to leverage the power of the internet to improve education, by combining superior educational resources with advanced information technologies".

Elernity has already offered its services in nearly 100 countries and regions including the United States, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Turkey, and has a strong presence in some economies participating in the Belt and Road Initiative such as Russia.

It has acquired 100 percent stakes in firms such as London-listed Promethean, which specializes in combining hardware and software solutions and has a presence in more than 100 countries and regions and in 1.3 million classrooms globally.

The company, which is based in Fuzhou, Fujian province, also signed a collaborative agreement with the Nigerian government to build smart classrooms as part of the N-Power Junior Smart Classroom Project.

Through the project, Elernity will bring one of its key products Edmodo to the smart classroom. It will also donate a smart classroom in Abuja, capital of Nigeria.

Following the visit and program in Nigeria, Elernity along with its parent company NetDragon will also sign a memorandum of understanding with Kenya.

"A large number of foreign economies are showing a strong desire to improve their education quality and efficiency," said Xiong Li in an earlier interview with China Daily.

"We'll continue to bolster our businesses in foreign markets, especially some BRI ones, this year, to improve the quality of education in different countries and regions," he added.
