McGraw-Hill Education Applauds National Education Technology Plan for 21st Century Learning

McGraw-Hill Education applauds the National Education Technology Plan and its progressive vision for building our 21st Century education system. We agree that the creative and effective use of technology can transform education and training -- in the same way that it has transformed the private sector -- to develop highly-skilled learners who are well-prepared to participate in today's global knowledge economy.

As we get ready for the next generation of learning, institutions and educators will require state-of-the-art-technology to build collaborative, creative and effective learning environments. Technology will increase student engagement and provide greater opportunities to monitor and assess students' achievement throughout their learning careers. We fully support accelerating the use of technology in classrooms to enable the delivery of digital learning content, and to provide instructors and educators with a uniform and transparent method of improving and reporting student outcomes.

We look forward to working as partners with state governments, administrators, educators, parents and students to support the Administration's plan, improve student learning and build 21st Century skills.
