Prin­ci­pals have been in­struct­ed to main­tain the cur­rent list of text­books for the up­com­ing aca­d­e­m­ic year, as the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion con­firmed there will be no changes to the ap­proved list for 2025/2026.

In a state­ment, the Min­istry ad­vised both pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary school heads to con­tin­ue us­ing the same text­books that were ap­proved and in use dur­ing the pre­vi­ous aca­d­e­m­ic year.

Dr Michael Dowlath, Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion, said, “This mea­sure en­sures con­sis­ten­cy in teach­ing and learn­ing re­sources across all schools, while the Min­istry con­ducts a re­view of the text­book ap­proval process to guar­an­tee align­ment with cur­ricu­lum stan­dards, qual­i­ty bench­marks, and in­clu­siv­i­ty prin­ci­ples.”
