Tsinghua University adheres to the educational tenets emphasizing solid foundations, practical experience, and a pursuit of innovation. The Career Development Center can play a significant role in student internships, gaining social awareness, and comprehensive growth. We hope to take this opportunity to forge more extensive and substantive collaboration with TAL Education Group in the future." At the signing ceremony, Guo Yong affirmed the development and contributions of TAL Education Group and expressed expectations for further cooperation between the two sides.

"Currently, online education is a beneficial supplement to the traditional education system, but looking towards the future, online education will promote the profound transformation of traditional knowledge delivery paradigms and even knowledge production modes. We hope to engage in in-depth collaboration with TAL Education Group (Xueersi) through industry, academia, and research, strengthen talent exchanges, and allow more Tsinghua students to participate in such transformative developments." Zhao Cen shared insights regarding the significance of the development of online education in his speech.

Bai Yunfeng also expressed expectations for further cooperation between the two sides, stating, "Education is the hope of a country and a nation. TAL Education Group (Xueersi) has been pioneering, leveraging diverse pedagogical approaches to better meet the learning needs of students at diverse academic levels across regions in China, and utilizing cutting-edge technologies to enable more children to have access to fair and high-quality education. We hope that through deeper and sustained cooperation with Tsinghua University, more outstanding Tsinghua students will join the education industry and promote educational progress together through love and technology."

"In terms of talent, TAL's Xueersi division maintains robust exchanges with Tsinghua University. On one hand, numerous alumni gain admission to Tsinghua University every year, and on the other hand, many outstanding students from Tsinghua University choose to join us," Yang Fuguang, President of TAL's Xueersi division, said in a discussion. "We have always been actively seeking exceptional talents," added Liu Qingxun, President of TAL's Xueersi Online School division. In the process of development, TAL's Xueersi Online School continues to strengthen research and development and application of education technology such as artificial intelligence, providing students with a more interesting and interactive online learning experience.

During the discussion meeting, Fang Gang emphasized the development of the TiPaipai business unit. As a pioneer in the "instant homework help" field, the TiPaipai business unit was the first to provide free assistance covering all grades and subjects in the industry, and became the first APP in China to achieve an average response time of less than 10 minutes. Fang Gang stated that the TiPaipai business unit will establish a campus ambassador program, conduct practical projects regularly, and provide Tsinghua students with a collaborative learning environment for mutual assistance and communication. In addition, the TiPaipai business unit will also organize professional development programs for Tsinghua students in areas such as artificial intelligence algorithms and education product design to deepen their experience and understanding of educational technology.

These efforts demonstrate the dedication and attention that the TiPaipai business unit places on talent. In September of this year, the TiPaipai business unit officially initiated the "Academic Consultant Program" for Tsinghua University, Peking University, and other well-known universities nationwide. Currently, the TiPaipai business unit has academic consultants from both Tsinghua University and Peking University, as well as Olympiad champions from the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) and the CMO (China Mathematical Olympiad), thereby providing high-quality free assistance services to primary and secondary school students.
