Building on this momentum, the initiative aims to expand in 2026 to reach an additional 50,000 students.
Since inception, the program has surpassed its initial enrollment targets, reaching students across 300 schools in 42 cities spanning five provinces through two core learning streams: an online Math Tutoring Program and a comprehensive English and Science Self-Study Program covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, General Science,
and Mathematics; and Sitarey: Digital Learning Games and Competitions. Recognizing 150 teachers as catalysts of lasting impact, Zong has also trained educators in digital instruction and blended learning, ensuring seamless technology integration in classrooms and improving student participation, analytical thinking, and learning
outcomes.
