[{"type":"text","content":"WUXI, China, Aug. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skillful Craftsman Education Technology Ltd. (“the Company” or “Skillful Craftsman”) (NASDAQ: EDTK), an education technology company providing interactive online learning services, today announced a strategic partnership with Wuxi Talent Home Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“WTH”), one of the largest flexible staffing platforms in Jiangsu Province.
