Publishing core school textbooks, written and designed to conform to a specific syllabus,
is one of the most important aspects of Macmillan’s publishing in countries across
Africa.ABOUT OUR TEXTBOOKS
Textbooks for the curriculum
Experienced and forward-thinking writers develop the materials alongside teams of senior
advisers, and educational and curriculum specialists, under the guidance of a Macmillan
project editor. The authors and advisers, who are leaders in their field, bring modern and
innovative approaches to the development of the materials. At the same time, Macmillan
staff can bring the very latest design and illustration features to convey complex
concepts.
Components
Our courses always comprise a Pupil’s Book or Student’s Book for each year of
study. These are always well-illustrated and often in colour. In addition, each
Pupil’s Book is always supported by a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide containing
lesson plans, answers to exercises and background information.
Background to English textbooks
Macmillan recognises that English is often used for teaching in schools, making
it vital for students to have proficient English skills in order to progress in maths,
science and the humanities. You will find our textbooks are not only cross-curricular;
they also take account of the special needs of children learning English as a second or
foreign language.
Background to science and maths textbooks
Our science and maths textbooks aim to expand the student’s horizons, while
still reflecting local syllabus requirements. We encourage all our examples to be centred
on the local environment, enabling students to acquire relevant knowledge, while
distinguishing between fact, concept and generalisations in a fun and accessible way.
Below are a list of primary and secondary school textbooks, mostly written for specific
countries.
