About Shuter and Shooter Publishers

Shuters is a leading publisher in the South African schools sector. Established as a bookshop almost 100 years ago, the Company began publishing isiZulu novels, poetry and textbooks from the early 1930’s. Since then, they have successfully produced quality literature and educational materials in most of the South African official languages, as well as for the National Department of Basic Education’s school curriculum (CAPS).

Shuters has over 950 CAPS-approved titles that appear on the nationally approved textbook catalogue. In addition, they host an extensive range of supplementary educational materials for South African schools and libraries. They have also invested in developing e-learning materials, keeping abreast of technology in education.

In 2016, Shuters launched the Shuters Academy, which is an Education, Training and Development Practices Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) accredited training provider, and is also registered with SACE – enabling the Academy to issue teachers with Career Professional Training and Development (CPTD) points.

In 2017, the exciting new Study Guide series – Ace it! was launched. Ace it! is unique in that it focuses on the different learning styles, and includes study tips for each learning style to help learners excel in their year-end exams.
