U.S.-listed Chinese education stocks surged following the release of a new policy focusing on employment and education integration. TAL Education Group (TAL, Financial) saw its shares rise over 4%, New Oriental Education & Technology Group (EDU) gained more than 3%, and Gaotu Techedu Inc. (GOTU) increased nearly 1%.
The policy, issued by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council, emphasizes improving the match between education supply and talent demand by enhancing modern vocational education. It aims to integrate vocational and regular educational systems, promote industry-education collaboration, and foster scientific and educational connections to cultivate more high-quality technical skills.
According to Citic Securities, these positive developments in the vocational education sector could position leading companies for significant growth opportunities. Training institutions capable of empowering vocational education are especially recommended for closer attention.
