培生同時表示,美國K12是培生業務的重要組成部分,將來會繼續增加在虛擬學校、評估、線上學習等方面的投入。
多知網5月5日消息,今日,多知網接到爆料稱,培生重新評估了其在美國的K12課件業務,或考慮退出該業務。
據爆料內容顯示,培生重新審查了美國K12課件業務的發展戰略,并認為現在是時候認真評估一下該項業務的發展情況。在培生看來,美國的K12數字課件在美國發展緩慢,每年還需要大量投資維持運營、面對競爭。培生同時表示,美國K12是培生業務的重要組成部分,將來會繼續增加在虛擬學校、評估、線上學習等方面的投入。另外,此次戰略回顧并不包括高校、職業教育與技術教育等領域。
以下為爆料原文:
We’re initiating a strategic review of our US K12 courseware business. After careful analysis, we’ve decided it’s the right time to explore if we are still the best owner of this business. The US K12 courseware business displays a slow pace of digital adoption, challenging marketing conditions, and requires a significant investment each year to operate and compete.
This strategic review doesn’t include Advanced Placement, Career and Technical Education, or our school businesses outside of the US, all of which have more synergies with other parts of our business.
To be clear, US K12 remains an important part of Pearson,where we're increasing our investment in virtual schools, building on our leading position in US school and clinical assessment ,and powering online learning.

此前培生發布的2016年財報顯示,2016年培生北美業務區營收29.81億英鎊,較去年同期的29.4億英鎊同比增長1%;調整后運營利潤4.2億英鎊,較去年同比下降13%。北美業務的增長緩慢,或許是退出美國K12課件業務的原因?(多知網 吳戈)
