Today, we are delighted to share Pearson's case study from our #EducationReport. Pearson is the world’s leading learning company. They have more than 20,000 employees that deliver products and services in nearly 200 countries, all working towards a common purpose – to help everyone achieve their potential through learning. Pearson provides high quality digital content and learning experiences, as well as #assessments and #qualifications that help people build their skills and grow with the world around them.   In 2023, the Jordanian Ministry of Education and Pearson signed an agreement to reform Jordan’s #TVET provision in state schools – introducing #BTECqualifications into the country’s national curriculum. Pearson’s internationally recognised vocational qualifications are developed and validated in partnership with educators, employers and governments. These qualifications support students with applied, hands-on learning experiences, leaving them skilled for employment and/or Higher Education.   In the coming weeks, we will share case studies from the Education report delivered by BEI members and local partners across the Middle-East. Like Pearson's, these real-life case studies highlight the impact of #partnerships and offer best practice examples of how to tackle key issues in a range of different contexts.
