Shares in education publisher Pearson have risen by almost 9 per cent to the top of the FTSE 100 after unveiling a set of strong numbers.
The group posted a 7 per cent rise in sales for the first nine months of the year, as a strong rebound in demand for its English language learning courseware offset a decline in higher education.
Pearson said demand from people looking to learn English across the world increased as 'global mobility continues to improve with border re-openings' after pandemic restrictions.
