Readboy Education Holding Co. Ltd. was among China’s pioneers of educational technology when digital devices first appeared in the classroom, with a slogan promising to turn its users into overachievers of the future. Two decades on, the company finds itself under mounting pressure in the smart learning market as ambitious rivals look to become top of the class.
Readboy has long since replaced its rudimentary reading machines with modern tablets, but, as the company seeks funding for business expansion in the future, it is still sticking to what it knows best - producing educational hardware.
