Watch: Despite Growth and Profits, Pearson is Selling its US K-12 Business
Education and EdTech giant Pearson is looking to sell its US K-12 business in spite of posting growth and profits. The sale fits the trend set by CEO John Fallon, who took over in 2013.

Though it faces tough competition, Pearson is expanding its role in digital textbooks and integrating EdTech products into the classroom.
