Measuring our effectiveness

The Pearson efficacy framework

“Under the leadership of our chief education advisor, Sir Michael Barber, we have spent the past two years developing a framework and a set of tools. The Pearson efficacy framework is a unique, rigorous and scalable quality assurance system that checks that the necessary conditions are in place for an education programme to deliver the intended learning outcomes.”

Implementing the efficacy framework

“ We have reviewed almost 100 Pearson programmes under this framework, and we are improving our products and services by acting on the findings. We also are now making an efficacy review a requirement for any new product investment of $3m or more, and for any acquisition proposal. Over time, this will also improve our rate of innovation and invention. ”
