Heinemann’s Vision

Heinemann strives to be The Educator’s Choice in educational materials. We develop curriculum materials written by Learning Area specialists and practising educators. Our materials cater for the reality of the educator’s working day. All over South Africa Heinemann is an indispensable partner in education, delivering the curriculum through tried and tested materials.

We trial our books with learners and educators. We also conduct educator focus groups to ensure that we align our books to educators’ needs.

Heinemann offers teachers workshops on our books. Heinemann’s practical, professionally-run workshops help educators to use our materials to best effect in the classroom, to cut down on their administration load and to explore different teaching methods for learners of all abilities.

Heinemann regularly donates books to Departments of Education, libraries, schools and parent bodies. We are a member of the National Business Initiative. We actively support the Education Department’s education improvement strategies. We develop teachers through training courses.
