McGraw Hill and Maarif Education Elevate 'Hybrid Learning' to New Heights

  • McGraw Hill and Maarif Education have forged an exclusive agreement, designating McGraw Hill as the sole learning partner for all 10 campuses of Maarif Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This collaboration grants Maarif Education access to McGraw Hill's exclusive content in both print and digital formats, along with resources from third-party publishers, all through a unified provider. 

    McGraw Hill's core and supplementary math, science, and literacy programs, including Inspire Science, Reveal Math, and Wonders, have been implemented across Maarif Education's pre-K through 12 grades. To support personalized learning paths and elevate students to grade level, intervention programs are also in place. Accompanying these programs are McGraw Hill's digital learning platforms such as ConnectEd, Open Learning Platform (OLP), and ALEKS.

    To ensure a successful rollout, McGraw Hill provides dedicated support teams for curriculum delivery, academic and technical training, Learning Management System (LMS) integration, and professional development. Ongoing teacher training, along with a comprehensive two-week professional development session covering teaching and learning best practices, has been organized.

    This collaboration is noteworthy in Saudi Arabia as it is uncommon for a K-12 education group of Maarif Education's magnitude to entrust a single learning partner for all educational requirements. The landmark partnership underscores the commitment of both entities to advance K-12 education in alignment with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming to develop a highly skilled population.

    Lefteris Souris, SVP and Managing Director of McGraw Hill's International group, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the shared goal of transforming education in Saudi Arabia. Souris highlighted the dedication of McGraw Hill to enhance learning outcomes and sees the collaboration as a significant stride toward delivering premier K-12 education, preparing students for success in the digital age.
