Macmillan Education

In 2011 Macmillan Publishers Ltd was fined GBP 11.3 million by the High Court in London, in respect of gains through corruption by Macmillan Education in East and West Africa between 2002 and 2009. Subsequently, Macmillan Education stopped operating in East and West Africa. In December 2011, Bedford, Freeman, and Worth Publishing Group, Macmillan's higher education group, changed its name to Macmillan Higher Education while retaining the Bedford, Freeman, and Worth name for its K–12 educational unit.

Until 2015, when it was merged into Springer Nature, Macmillan Education was a division of Macmillan Publishers  Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holtzbrinck Publishing Group. Holtzbrinck retains a majority interest in Springer Nature.

Education is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Macmillan Education is at the forefront of this change, providing solutions that enhance the teaching and learning experience for everyone, at every stage of education.

As technology opens new doors for teachers and students, we use our expertise to create products that suit different learning styles and design innovative new tools for teachers and students.

We produce high-quality, trusted educational materials and provide support to teachers and students, so they can get the most from what we publish.

Our three divisions, Language Learning, Schools Curriculum and Higher Education, inspire a lifetime of learning.

Everyone at Macmillan Education has one thing in common: they are passionate about learning. They understand the needs of teachers and students across the globe, and they are committed to working together to meet those needs.

As a company, the content we produce is split into two parts. Our Language Learning division focuses mainly on English Language Teaching content and also produces resources in Spanish and Chinese for certain regions. Our Schools Curriculum Division creates materials to fit with the curricula of countries around the world.

Our award-winning English Language Teaching (ELT) publishing has helped millions of students improve their language skills and equipped them with everything they need to succeed in education, in the workplace, and throughout their lives.

Curriculum

Our International Curriculum Resources combine our strengths in English Language Teaching publishing with a deep understanding of the needs of localised markets. We provide schools with a complete solution that matches the syllabuses of the leading International Curriculum providers and offer unrivalled support to teachers, students and parents whose first language is not English. In classrooms around the world we know how transformative learning can be, and we are passionate about providing students and their teachers with everything they need to succeed in education, in the workplace, and in life.

Partnerships

We know that when it comes to working effectively, partnering with government bodies, institutions, organisations and companies is often the best way to provide the most appropriate solutions for our markets. We work closely with Ministries of Education, in many regions, to develop appropriate teaching and learning materials for specific countries. In recent years, we’ve won publishing tenders in Armenia, Bahrain, Egypt, Jamaica, Liberia, Malawi, Palestine and Saudi Arabia amongst many more.

Distributors & Booksellers

We have a presence in over 100 countries around the world, thanks to the help of the local and global distributors and booksellers we work with.

Macmillan Education operates through a vast network of local businesses, working very differently in local markets. We partner with leading, trusted distributors in each market to ensure our customers can get the books, digital materials and support they need as close to them as possible, and in their own language.
