Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning

The Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning (formerly the Pearson Research Institute) is officially being launched in September 2010 and will stimulate debate, collaborate and share ideas through world class policy intelligence and
analysis. We will also deliver high quality conferences,
learning materials and forums for debate.

Our work is aimed at government, the policy community
(social, economic and education) and end users (learners
and practitioners).





	In April 2010 the Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning published the Hands-on guide to post-16 performance and data. At www.dataguide.co.uk you can see the contents, read comments from across the sector, see pictures from the launch and purchase the guide.
