Dear Global Education colleagues,
I am writing to wish you all a very warm welcome to Pearson – and to say just how delighted we all are at the prospect of Global Education joining the Pearson family (that’s all 36,000 of us working in 70 countries around the world.)

Pearson is the world’s largest, and most international, education company. Our aim is to combine the very best pedagogy and educational content with ground breaking assessment & technology in ways that make learning more effective and helps students to be more successful. We are also about education in the wider sense of the word – as well as all our activities directly related to teaching, learning & assessment, we are also the proud owners of the Financial Times and Penguin publishing groups.
As Pearson grows and expands globally, China is one of our key areas of focus. For more than 40 years, Pearson has been working to meet the rapidly growing demand for high quality education across China. We now employ more than 3,000 people in China, our largest group of Pearson colleagues outside the US, and this number will grow significantly with the addition of the Global Education team. One of our key strategies is to be the world’s pre-eminent provider of English language learning content, technology and services and we are directing these efforts from China.
As we have come to know your business, we strongly believe that our goal of helping people make progress in their lives through learning, along with our commitment to quality education around the world, is shared by all of you. Together I hope we can offer the very best English language training in China.
Over the next few months, it will be really important that we take the time to get to know each other better. In the meantime, it’s business as usual and the best way of ensuring that we make a great start is by you all continuing to do what you do so brilliantly each day, delivering an efficient and valuable service to all our learners.
Best wishes,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　John Fallon
