The Federal Government has introduced new standards for textbooks in schools. Instructional materials must now score at least 70 per cent to qualify for national ranking. This decision follows a national textbook assessment and ranking exercise that revealed significant quality gaps in submitted books. Some textbooks scored as low as 25 per cent, prompting the government to take action.
The Minister of Education received the assessment report and ranked list, emphasizing the need to improve textbook quality. The government aims to eliminate poorly written, inaccurate, or curriculum-incompatible textbooks from classrooms.
Further details on the new standards and the assessment exercise are available from the source. The move is part of efforts to address substandard textbooks and promote better education.
