05 Attachment: Summary Table

Conclusion

Although the total financing amount in the education industry in September was less than 50 million RMB, continuing the trend of a cooling - off in financing throughout the year, it still released several structural signals worthy of attention: First, technological content continues to be a key variable considered by capital. From AI - driven educational tools to scientific methodologies for English learning, technological content is reshaping the value evaluation system of education companies. Second, regional innovation is flourishing in multiple places. Enterprises outside first - tier cities also have the ability to attract capital, indicating the geographical diversity of educational innovation. Third, sub - tracks are extending to the boundaries of "pan - education". Models that integrate entertainment and education, such as script entertainment, are being recognized by capital. Overall, although the current financing data is not very impressive, the industry signals are still clear: Capital is shifting from extensive investment to precise identification, and the value orientation of education entrepreneurship is returning to "methodology" and "product strength".
