Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $22.9 million, a 21.9 percent increase from $18.7 million in the corresponding period of 2012.

Net revenue from online degree programs for the second quarter of 2013 was $18.5 million, a 23.6 percent increase over $15.0 million in the corresponding period of 2012.

By the end of the second quarter of 2013, ChinaEdu’s learning centers network was providing recruiting services for 23 universities with 125 operational learning centers, of which 61 were proprietary centers6 and 64 were contracted centers7.
