For a second consecutive year, our financial performance was ahead of expectations with excellent progress across the Group. This has been driven by our strategic initiatives which are taking Pearson on a new, exciting journey.
Our portfolio continues to strengthen, with our new unified Workforce Skills platform, Pearson for Work, now established to leverage the structural growth in our markets and increased need for upskilling and reskilling. This will be a key growth driver for Pearson over the coming years.
