As the largest listed education company, it’s not a surprise that Pearson’s results are largely due to the strength of their education business, which accounts for two-thirds of their turnover. Pearson’s education business is up 6% for nine months with sales at the divisions up by, Professional 9%, Schools 7% and Higher Education 3%. Over the whole year the company expects growth for its educational division to be lower, at 3-5%, due to increased competition and lower spending during the last part of the school year.
