Continuing education during uncertainty

More than 300 million students worldwide are having their education disrupted by the spread of Coronavirus. Schools and universities haven’t faced this level of disruption in generations, but unlike any time in the past, we have the ability to continue education even when schools close.

Learners, teachers and families are at the heart of everything Pearson does and we are committed to helping everyone have positive learning experiences, whether online or in school.

In this uncertain environment, it’s important that learning continues, even if it can’t happen in person. That’s why we’re providing access to expert faculty, best practices, and other online learning resources for people who are studying, teaching or working remotely. We’ll be updating this site regularly with even more helpful resources.
