Our take

Pearson is an education platform offering tools to support learners at every stage, from school to work. It provides digital content, assessments, and qualifications to empower students and educators to reach their full potential.

With a presence in nearly 200 countries, Pearson's success speaks for itself. The company is continually focused on making learning more interactive and accessible and recently embraced generative AI to further enhance its products, firmly establishing itself as a global leader in education.

To roll out its generative AI offerings, Pearson partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership has already proven successful and will help Pearson expand its AI capabilities, bridge skill gaps, and further transform the learning experience.
