Pearson in May 2017 put is K-12 curriculum business up for sale. After the large tech companies—Amazon (Seattle), Apple (Cupertino, CA), Google (Mountain View, CA) and Microsoft (Redmond, WA)—declined the opportunity to use Pearson’s content as the path for increasing their K-12 presence, industry observers believe Pearson is headed to a private equity deal for its $512.2 million (as of 2017) K-12 curriculum business.
