Education isn’t preparation for life. Education is life itself.” John Dewey.

The Pearson Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Pearson plc, the world’s leading learning Company. One of the world's leading media and education companies. Pearson Foundation extends Pearson’s commitment to education by partnering with leading nonprofit, civic, and business organizations to provide financial, organizational, and publishing assistance across the globe.

We aim to make a difference by promoting literacy, learning, and great teaching. We do this by collaborating with leading businesses, not-for-profits, and education experts to share good practice; foster innovation; and find workable solutions to the educational disadvantages facing millions of young people and adults across the globe.

The idea of ‘corporate responsibility’ or ‘corporate citizenship’ isn’t new to any part of Pearson.

So, for many years the notion of social responsibility has been at the core of our business. Inside Pearson we express that in three values: brave, imaginative and decent. We’re proud that our record has been recognized with many awards and quality standards for responsible business; but at the same time we are determined that we should keep on learning and improving.

We believe we have a deep responsibility to play a part in helping to improve life opportunities for students wherever our educational services are being used. We continue to work to connect our products and services to provide integrated learning platforms that make teaching more efficient and learning more personal. Our research – both in-house and independently conducted – provides evidence that our products are helping to enhance student learning; by bringing some of these together, we are able to offer students and educators highly effective tools to support education.

We give books’ and ‘Pearson Foundation’s literary alliance’ are some of the unique global initiatives by Pearson Foundation to promote learning through reading.

The Pearson Foundation is excited about partnering the ‘Support My School’ campaign’ a movement for Healthy, Active and Happy schools.

As ‘Learning Partner’, Pearson Foundation will bring wealth of global experience in domain of education and training. In the schools covered under the Support My School (SMS) campaign, Pearson Foundation will establish libraries with a wide range of books, to help children supplement their education by reading on a variety of subjects towards enhancing their knowledge levels. The Foundation will also provide contextual training to teachers in these schools through NGOs and also make contribution to the corpus to promote learning in a big way.
