McGraw-Hill Education
McGraw-Hill Education is a digital learning company. It is one of the world's biggest education publishers, like Pearson, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Cengage Learning.
McGraw-Hill Education is owned by private equity firm, Apollo Global Management, which bought the business from McGraw-Hill Companies in March 2013 for $2.4 billion.[1]
Lobbying for education reform
McGraw-Hill promotes online learning. A former president and CEO at McGraw-Hill Education said of online learning: “With this new method and capability, all of a sudden you could see a teacher handling many more students … the productivity could double or triple”[2]
In 2014 McGraw-Hill Education hired Ogilvy Public Relations in the US to position the firm as a leader in the digital and adaptive learning technology spaces.[3]
