Sixty-eight jobs have gone at Pearson's higher education business in the US, as part of the company's ongoing strategic shift.
A Pearson spokesperson said the jobs were "eliminated due to restructuring decisions made in support of Pearson's previously announced global education strategy."
The spokesperson went on: "The demand for learning tools that take advantage of data and analytics to improve outcomes is accelerating. In light of this, we are remaining how to take our trusted brands beyond print."

Last month it said over 3,300 employees had left the business in the past year as part of the shift.
