環球天下教育集團全體同事們：
　　今天，環球教育董事會批準并對外公布了一項具有重大意義的合并計劃，環球天下教育科技集團將進入世界級教育領導機構Pearson培生國際教育集團大家庭。

　　環球天下教育集團作為在納斯達克證券交易所上市公司（納斯達克：gedu），Pearson集團批準以總價2.94億美元（約18.6億人民幣）整體收購，這充分體現了環球天下在中國教育行業的領導品牌價值，這一計劃將為Pearson和環球天下未來發展帶來強大動力，并孕育著環球天下作為中國民營教育行業代表率先步入國際教育先進級行列。
　　Pearson擁有企鵝出版集團和金融時報世界知名品牌以及“華爾街”英語機構，我們將結合大家庭中擁有的豐富國際教育資源和先進教育技術，強化在中國的發展與教學服務并向更廣闊的國際領域延伸我們的夢想，傳承深邃的環球天下教育優質教學能力和激情團隊精神。
　　環球雅思學校誕生于2001年，在20平米5位員工萌生中，經過一大批環球新老員工卓越艱辛的拼搏，我們在渡過2003年非典瀕臨放棄、2005年以超前連鎖模式邁步全國、2006年教育行業率先引入風險融資、2008年在全球金融危機下業務逆風增長、2010年登陸美國上市、2012年來臨之際我們又將迎來邁入世界上最大與最具國際性教育集團Pearson大家庭。
　　今天，2000多位環球同事們將與全世界70個國家36000位Pearson同事們一起，朝著共同的目標，繼續追趕我們偉大的教育理想，為中國學生提供最好的語言培訓，建立遍布全國的一流校區和世界先進的教學技術。作為你們的領路人我將以更加飽滿的熱情繼續與大家一起努力，為中國學生和家長服務，肩負起社會、學生、員工、股東賦予的神圣使命，祝愿我們大家有一個新的美好紀元。

Dear Global Education colleagues,
I am writing to wish you all a very warm welcome to Pearson – and to say just how delighted we all are at the prospect of Global Education joining the Pearson family (that’s all 36,000 of us working in 70 countries around the world.)

Pearson is the world’s largest, and most international, education company. Our aim is to combine the very best pedagogy and educational content with ground breaking assessment & technology in ways that make learning more effective and helps students to be more successful. We are also about education in the wider sense of the word – as well as all our activities directly related to teaching, learning & assessment, we are also the proud owners of the Financial Times and Penguin publishing groups.
As Pearson grows and expands globally, China is one of our key areas of focus. For more than 40 years, Pearson has been working to meet the rapidly growing demand for high quality education across China. We now employ more than 3,000 people in China, our largest group of Pearson colleagues outside the US, and this number will grow significantly with the addition of the Global Education team. One of our key strategies is to be the world’s pre-eminent provider of English language learning content, technology and services and we are directing these efforts from China.
As we have come to know your business, we strongly believe that our goal of helping people make progress in their lives through learning, along with our commitment to quality education around the world, is shared by all of you. Together I hope we can offer the very best English language training in China.
Over the next few months, it will be really important that we take the time to get to know each other better. In the meantime, it’s business as usual and the best way of ensuring that we make a great start is by you all continuing to do what you do so brilliantly each day, delivering an efficient and valuable service to all our learners.
Best wishes,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　John Fallon
