环球天下教育集团全体同事们：
　　今天，环球教育董事会批准并对外公布了一项具有重大意义的合并计划，环球天下教育科技集团将进入世界级教育领导机构Pearson培生国际教育集团大家庭。

　　环球天下教育集团作为在纳斯达克证券交易所上市公司（纳斯达克：gedu），Pearson集团批准以总价2.94亿美元（约18.6亿人民币）整体收购，这充分体现了环球天下在中国教育行业的领导品牌价值，这一计划将为Pearson和环球天下未来发展带来强大动力，并孕育着环球天下作为中国民营教育行业代表率先步入国际教育先进级行列。
　　Pearson拥有企鹅出版集团和金融时报世界知名品牌以及“华尔街”英语机构，我们将结合大家庭中拥有的丰富国际教育资源和先进教育技术，强化在中国的发展与教学服务并向更广阔的国际领域延伸我们的梦想，传承深邃的环球天下教育优质教学能力和激情团队精神。
　　环球雅思学校诞生于2001年，在20平米5位员工萌生中，经过一大批环球新老员工卓越艰辛的拼搏，我们在渡过2003年非典濒临放弃、2005年以超前连锁模式迈步全国、2006年教育行业率先引入风险融资、2008年在全球金融危机下业务逆风增长、2010年登陆美国上市、2012年来临之际我们又将迎来迈入世界上最大与最具国际性教育集团Pearson大家庭。
　　今天，2000多位环球同事们将与全世界70个国家36000位Pearson同事们一起，朝着共同的目标，继续追赶我们伟大的教育理想，为中国学生提供最好的语言培训，建立遍布全国的一流校区和世界先进的教学技术。作为你们的领路人我将以更加饱满的热情继续与大家一起努力，为中国学生和家长服务，肩负起社会、学生、员工、股东赋予的神圣使命，祝愿我们大家有一个新的美好纪元。

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
