Digital textbook

As they claim, that textbook in some parts contains incorrect facts and misinterpretations related to the creation of modern Croatia, multi-party system and the last war that Croats call "the Homeland War".

The Education Ministry has initiated an investigation into claims made by the local media that private schools are selling free textbooks provided by the ministry to recycling facilities.

Private schools prompt their students to use different sources instead of utilizing the textbooks provided for free by the Education Ministry, leading to the wastage of millions of textbooks each year.

As the new academic year approaches, the ministry has started sending textbooks for free to all schools across the country.

As of today, the "Prosveta" Publishing Group provides free access to the full electronic versions of its textbooks in all subjects from the first to the tenth grade, enriched with additional interactive educational resources. Thus, nearly 700,000 Bulgarian students will be able to use all 33,000 digital resources of the publishing house for their preparation.

She told TV Pink that she had a meeting with Education Minister Mladen Sarcevic and his team early this morning to discuss testing the distance learning system and remove any interference.

Students from the 1st to the 7th grade will now have access to electronically readable textbooks in all disciplines. This was decided by the government by allocating additional funds to provide such access through the Education Ministry's website.

Speaking at the Drinka Pavlovic Elementary School in Belgrade, she said that the Serbian government has allocated EUR 70 million for introduction of digital textbooks.

Macedonia's Education Ministry said it will dedicate time and money next year to revising some textbooks and deleting or rewriting parts of them that have been described as discriminatory.

"We will be focusing on false facts," Education Minister Renata Deskovska said, as well as mistakes made in translations from foreign languages.

Total of 256 textbooks and kits for the second, sixth and eighth grade have received evaluation "put into practice" by teachers, said the education ministry.

The reason why two textbooks in a foreign language get a "not applicable in practice" rating is that they were not delivered by publishers to schools.

22% of students drop out between the 5th to 7th grade of education. This was stated by Aneliya Klisarova from BSP in the studio of "The Day Begins" on BNT.

According to Klisarova, until we change the curriculum, we can not have valuable textbooks. A broad public debate is needed to make them sustainable.
