Pearson Africa: About us
We believe in learning.
All kinds of learning for all
kinds of people, delivered
in a personal style.
We believe in its power to
change lives, to open doors,
to break down barriers, build
societies, and offer hope
and possibility.
Because wherever learning
flourishes, so do people.
Education offers Africa the
best opportunities for
countries to catch up and keep
up and improve life chances
for all. Time and money is
being invested in education
and people are demanding
better value, and more
measurable outputs from this
investment. By combining
content, assessment and
technology we want to help
more people make progress in
their lives through education.
