INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Ladies and Gentlemen, May I Start
Pearson Breakfast Presentation at CGS 2010 Annual Meeting, December 2, 2010 INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Ladies and Gentlemen, may I start by saying what a considerable privilege and honour it is to be here at the Council of Graduate Studies annual meeting here in Washington DC and to able to participate on behalf of Pearson in such a distinguished event. Pearson has been a corporate partner with the Council for the last two years, and this is a relationship we value extremely highly. Perhaps on a personal note could I say how gracious and committed a partner Debra Stewart has been. If I may today, I would like to devote the next 30 minutes to five areas: some broad forces shaping the world of education how we should innovate as leaders in education the particular challenge presented by digital, what I call internet transformations how Pearson is responding; and lastly, some questions for the future Perhaps I might start with a few remarks about Pearson. It can trace its origins back to 1724 in London, when Thomas Longman founded Longman ‘at the sign of the ship’, the sign of a pub which has become one of our enduring logos. This is the Thomas Longman who published Dr Johnson’s Dictionary. Through the years we have had many Pearson Breakfast Presentation at CGS 2010 Annual Meeting, December 2, 2010 manifestations, including in oil and here in the United States in construction, where for example the engineering firm S Pearson & Son built the Hudson Tunnel in New York. As recently at the 1990s we were regarded as a conglomerate, owning a wide range of assets including Royal Doulton china, a stake in Chateau Latour wine, and Madame Tussauds.
