Following the announcement on
May 28, Pearson today confirmed that its education business in New
Zealand will close at the end of August 2013. Pearson will continue
to offer its products in New Zealand and customers
and authors will be informed of the alternative arrangements soon.
Pearson Australia
& New Zealand CEO, David Barnett, said, “We will continue to
support our customers in New Zealand via a local distributor, who will sell our
products in the marketplace. However, over the last few years it has become
clear that our current business model is no longer appropriate."
“This was
not an easy decision to make and comes after many months of discussion as well
as a two week consultation process with our people. Our focus
right now continues to be on their welfare at this difficult time.”
