Vietnam to Deliver 110M Textbooks for Next Academic Year

Vietnam will have 110 million textbooks for the next academic year (2019-2020), said Vietnam Education Publishing House Limited Company (VEPH), a unit of the Ministry of Education and Training and also the biggest textbook publishing house in the country. VEPH added that it would have supportive policies for textbook of grade 1 (first grade of primary schools) for sellers, amid fear of textbook redundancy as Vietnam will use new curriculum for grade 1 in the 2020-2021 academic year. As of mid-July, VEPH reached 104% of the textbook delivery plan, up 16 percentage points y/y. (VietnamNet, baodanang, Nhan Dan, Tin Tuc, VOV, Tuoi Tre, QDND, Kinh Te Do Thi, Cong Ly, thanhtra)
