Van Schaik Publishers is committed to being accessible, affordable and African. We believe that we have a vital role to play in moving Africa into a world where educational resources are in line with the needs of our local environment, local students and local institutions. We have worked since 1915 to ensure that no student is alienated by content that is unfamiliar, or prices that are unaffordable, and we have made a commitment to developing decolonised material through consultations with authors, academics and reviewers.
Our commitment extends to teaching and learning materials that are designed for the South African context – books that speak to local conditions and digital resources that are accessible to all. We have a growing range of exciting products available while continually researching and developing more relevant material for lecturers and students alike.
As a leading academic publisher in the South African market, Van Schaik Publishers prides itself on service excellence and the publication of high quality, locally relevant textbooks and materials for Higher Education.
