On the day of the event, education was undoubtedly the most intensely discussed topic, as the education industry continues to face challenges amid the pandemic. Mr. Tian Xiaodiao stated, "Students and parents hope to change their lives and realize their dreams through studying abroad. This shift in mindset has actually brought new opportunities and challenges to the overseas education industry. CheersYou（清柚教育） has in-depth knowledge of the application requirements of top global universities. Given this intense admissions landscape, we will actively provide professional advice and support to more students and parents."
When discussing the future development of the study abroad industry, Mr. Wang Zijian said, "The integration of education and technology is undoubtedly our direction. This year, CheersYou（清柚教育） has partnered with ETS to provide authoritative and professional GRE preparation advice. Our self-developed realistic mock exam system helps test-takers familiarize themselves with the exam environment in advance and perform consistently on test day. Combining expert guidance with technological empowerment, we never stop exploring and innovating." Mr. Wang also revealed that in addition to the application information collection system and the GRE realistic mock exam system, CheersYou（清柚教育） will soon launch new tech-empowered products to offer more professional services and support to students.
"Exploring the future of studying abroad, promoting cultural exchange, and fostering youth legacy" has always been the founding purpose and original intention of the China-Canada Youth Forum. Looking back, the dances of each era are often led by the young. We believe that in a future where innovation and transformation intertwine, more outstanding enterprises will join hands to break down information barriers and together sail toward the vast ocean of education and technology.
