Success for All: Inclusive Education

Inclusive Education

At Pearson, we believe everyone should have the same opportunity to achieve their full potential and to be successful at school, and in later life - whatever their background, ability or identity. Which is why we're working hard to ensure that education is inclusive.

We're committed to working together with schools and young people to create learning environments that reflect the diversity of the modern world, are accessible, and that provide a choice of pathways for all learning styles and abilities.

Creating an LGBT-inclusive Curriculum

Almost half of LGBT pupils (45%) are bullied for being themselves, while two in five (40%) are never taught anything about LGBT issues.

We’re proud to sponsor the Stonewall LGBT-inclusive Curriculum Guides for Primary and Secondary schools, which seek to change this. 

LGBT-inclusive teaching helps tackle anti-LGBT bullying and creates learning environments where everyone feels accepted.
