Pearson eyes partnership with more educational institutions

Pearson Plc is focusing on partnering with China's education institutions by providing content services after selling its learning centers in China as part of the group's global objective to simplify its business portfolio, according to its top executive.

John Fallon, CEO of Pearson, in an interview with China Daily, said that demand for learning English in China is huge. The company will continue to provide world-leading courseware, assessment and learning technology to Chinese consumers by "empowering teaching and learning institutions and universities, rather than running our own schools".

Part of its key transformation is to digitalize its learning content, and China is a great example of that.
