Pearson

A global education company specializing in digital learning, assessments, and qualifications.

Pearson plc is a public company headquartered in London, England, and is a constituent of the FTSE 100. Founded in 1844, the company operates in the education industry, providing educational materials, assessments, qualifications, and digital learning products across five global business units: Assessment & Qualifications, Virtual Learning, English Language Learning, Higher Education, and Workforce Skills.

Since 2016, Pearson has focused exclusively on education, a transition highlighted by the 2019 sale of its remaining share in Penguin Random House. The company has shifted toward a digital-first direction, which includes the 2022 acquisition of the language-learning platform Mondly and a strategic focus on online courses and educational technology.

Pearson is currently integrating AI across its products and services and expanding into enterprise skilling and early careers. With a recent annual revenue of £3,577 million, the company continues to scale its digital learning and enterprise partnerships to help learners realize their goals.
