WSJ reported:
The Carlyle Group Thursday said that it has sold English training business, the Wall Street Institute, to U.K.-based publisher Pearson PLC (PSON.LN) for $92 million.
The Journal failed to note Pearson's 2009 purchase of Wall Street English, the firm's China division. Pearson paid $142 million. Carlyle's combined proceeds equal $234 million.
