  多知网5月5日消息,今日,多知网接到爆料称,培生重新评估了其在美国的K12课件业务,或考虑退出该业务。

  据爆料内容显示,培生重新审查了美国K12课件业务的发展战略,并认为现在是时候认真评估一下该项业务的发展情况。在培生看来,美国的K12数字课件在美国发展缓慢,每年还需要大量投资维持运营、面对竞争。培生同时表示,美国K12是培生业务的重要组成部分,将来会继续增加在虚拟学校、评估、线上学习等方面的投入。另外,此次战略回顾并不包括高校、职业教育与技术教育等领域。

  以下为爆料原文:

  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.

  此前培生发布的2016年财报显示,2016年培生北美业务区营收29.81亿英镑,较去年同期的29.4亿英镑同比增长1%;调整后运营利润4.2亿英镑,较去年同比下降13%。北美业务的增长缓慢,或许是退出美国K12课件业务的原因?(多知网 吴戈)
