 .

 Andy Bird, Chief Executive, commented: "Assessment & Qualifications is at
 the heart of Pearson's lifelong strategy, and this event will shine a light on
 what has been and will continue to be the powerhouse of our growth. The need
 for trusted accreditation and certification has never been greater and extends
 ever further through people's lifelong learning journeys. Our A&Q business
 is exceptionally well placed to leverage this, having built scale and strong
 competitive positions in its chosen markets. It is our largest and most
 profitable business, its customer base is well diversified, and it benefits
 from good revenue consistency and visibility, meaning that it makes a
 particularly high-quality contribution to group performance. We see a broad
 range of opportunities to build on these strong foundations, driving improved
 top line and margin performance over the coming years, and unlocking
 significant synergies with our other businesses."
