Company Overview

At Pearson, we believe education-lifelong, from childhood through our working lives and into our golden years-will be one of the great growth industries of the 21st century.

Not all education happens formally in a classroom. Much of learning takes place on the job. Much of it occurs in the process of entertaining ourselves. Much of it evolves through what we read. Much of it comes from talking to others about what they have read, learned or interpreted.

So, we're building an education company to suit that world.

We want to be the biggest, most effective and the most valuable. But primarily, we want to remain the kind of company that focuses on people becoming more able to learn in different ways, more able to get a job, more able to move on in their careers.

We want to help others make better decisions, understand new concepts, use their intellect to solve problems and simply draw more out of life.
