About
Learning isn’t a destination, starting and stopping at the classroom door. It’s a never-ending road of discovery, challenge, inspiration, and wonder.
For many people, learning is the route to a job to support their family, or to the skills that will help them progress in their career. For others, it’s simply a passion for discovery.
Whether it's at home, in the classroom or in the workplace, learning is the key to improving our life chances. To this end, Pearson provides a blend of content, curricula, assessment, training and information systems to make learning more engaging and effective.
Technology underpins everything we do, from the latest resources for personalised learning to data analysis tools to measure progress and aid teaching. By putting technology at the heart of learning, we aim to support, motivate and inspire every educator and every learner.
In today's world, education isn’t just about gaining qualifications: it's about helping learners at every stage of the journey discover a love of learning that helps provide opportunities throughout their lives.
Because wherever learning flourishes, so do people.

Giving local leaders the tools and funding to provide the right training for the demands in their area will see the nation thrive

Tech and business advances have accelerated as a result of the pandemic. Rather than preparing for the economy of the future in 2030, we have to get ready for it today. The make-up of the workforce is going to continue to evolve over the coming months and years thanks to greater automation, a shift to digital enabled roles, and transformation happening across many parts of the economy. All of this impacts on the demand for skills and education – and so, we need a system that can adapt and be flexible to meet this great reskilling and upskilling challenge.
