School Education Publishing Programme
OUP India is the leading publisher of educational material in the K–12 market. Its school publishing programme caters to the needs of all major school boards, and offers blended learning solutions for all subjects. These learning solutions include course-linked interactive and online resources, learning and assessment products, teacher trainings for professional development, and much more.

English Language Teaching (ELT)
English is the leading language of international discourse and the global demand for English
language skills continues to grow. OUP is the market leader in English Language Teaching in the K–12 segment. The ELT department publishes schoolbooks and digital content for various educational boards. Its flagship courses such as New Learning to Communicate, New Broadway, and New Oxford Modern English have had a profound impact on the teaching and learning of English in Indian schools.

Mathematics
The study of Mathematics helps children become independent and critical thinkers and
provides them the skills and tools required to study many subjects. The Mathematics department publishes well-structured print and digital content that engages children by providing simple explanations of topics, outlining the necessary connect between abstract mathematical concepts and real life. New Enjoying Mathematics and New Guided Mathematics are its flagship courses.

Science and Computer Science
Science and Computer Science are playing an increasingly important role in all spheres of life. Proficiency in these subjects is, therefore, vital for children and the foundation of concepts must be sound. The Science and Computer Science department publishes courses and digital resources that not only teach fundamental concepts, but also develop a range of scientific skills such as observation, classification, experimentation, sequencing, and referencing. Two of its flagship courses are New Science In Everyday Life (Science) and Keyboard (Computer Science).


Humanities and Social Sciences
The study of Humanities is vital to creating responsible and engaged citizens and thinkers.
It leads us to engage our creative and critical thinking skills in understanding our cultural
and ethical responsibilities and values better. The study of social sciences helps us in
understanding the impact that science, technology, and medicine have on society while
broadening our intellectual foundation to create well-rounded academics, students, and
thinkers.
The Humanities and Social Sciences department publishes schoolbooks and digital content
related to history, civics, geography, economics, environmental studies, general knowledge,
and value education. In addition, the department also publishes atlases, of which the Oxford
School Atlas is the best known.
