4000 jobs to go at Pearson Education

[russdev]

Shame to hear that Pearson Education is to get rid of 4000 jobs

 

That is very bad timing on the announcement with BETT going on..

Hmm. The previous CEO was all-in wen it came to education. They still claim to be. I wonder what products they will axe and which teams will be affected.

 

It is also a shame they have ditched their partnership with safari Books online, as this to me is the future of publishing, and would have made a fantastic base for e-books in education.
