LONDON--Education and publishing company Pearson PLC (PSON.LN) Friday kept its outlook for the full-year unchanged after reporting a 6% rise in underlying sales in the three months to end-March.

Pearson, which used to publish the Financial Times newspaper, said it benefited from growth in North American higher education products, professional certification, South African school textbooks and U.K. student assessment.
