In November 2010, Pearson Education acquired a 75% shareholding in CTI,[5][6][7][8][9] with regulatory approval in 2011.[3] Pearson completed the 100% CTI acquisition (including MGI) in November 2013.[7] In 2019, CTI and MGI were officially rebranded as the as the Pearson Institute of Higher Education.[10][11] As the Pearson Institute of Higher Education, it grew to 12 campuses in South Africa.[12][4]
In November 2020, Pearson announced the disposal of its interests in the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE) in South Africa to a consortium of Stellenbosch Graduate Institute (SGI) and EXEO Capital, now known as the NetEd group.
