麥格勞-希爾（英語：McGraw Hill）是一家美國教育出版公司，同時也是「三大」教育出版商之一，為pre-K教育（英語：Pre-kindergarten）至研究生教育提供定製化的教育內容、軟件和服務[2][3]。該公司還為醫療、商業和工程專業提供參考資料和貿易出版物（英語：Trade magazine）。麥格勞-希爾教育在28個國家開展業務，在全球擁有5000多名員工，並以60多種語言向135個國家提供產品和服務。

麥格勞-希爾教育曾是麥格勞-希爾公司（後來更名為麥格勞-希爾金融，現為標普全球）的一個部門。2013年3月，阿波羅全球管理（英語：Apollo Global Management）以24億美元現金將其收購[4][5][6][7][8]。

基於對課堂技術日益增長的需求，麥格勞-希爾開始在提供傳統印刷產品的同時提供數字產品。隨着人們越來越關注開發自適應學習系統，使課堂教學更接近一對一的師生互動，這種轉變得以加速。這些系統允許個性化學習，評估每個學生的技能水平，並使用數據來確定每個人如何通過課程最有效地進步。麥格勞-希爾目前為1100多萬用戶提供數字產品和服務，涉及1500多種自適應產品，涵蓋高等教育和主要K-12課程的數字格式。

Controversies

編輯

In 1980, McGraw-Hill paid the African American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin a $200,000 advance for his unfinished book Remember This House, a memoir of his personal recollections of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.[48]。Following his death, the company sued his estate to recover the advance they had paid him for the unfinished book. The lawsuit was dropped by the company in 1990, citing a desire not to cause distress to Baldwin's family.

In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it published a caption in a geography textbook referring to American slaves as "workers".[49] The company quickly apologized, updated the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.[50] It has been linked to broader controversies about texts at the Texas Education Agency.[51]
