Pearson is a company at the heart of the global knowledge-based economy.

Pearson is devoted to helping people make progress in their lives through learning – whether from educational material, Penguin books or business information from the Financial Times Group. This focus is reflected in our commitment to provide “education in the broadest sense of the word,” for all ages and types of learners.

In recent years, Pearson has built new positions in education and information in fast-growing countries such as China and India, while investing in new product development and the digital transformation of all its businesses around the world. Pearson started as a construction company in 1844, and became one of the world’s largest construction contractors; today, Pearson is proud to be a global learning company, to help construct the minds of tomorrow.
