Provision of
Educational Materials of Distinctive Pedagogical
Standards.
Message from the Commissioner General
Educational Publications Department, having a direct connection with the school community who represents approximately 20% of the total population of the country, accomplishes its service to fulfil the needs of compulsory education which is one of the basic rights of students and to offer them equal opportunities in education. The department performs a unique role in providing students with textbooks and supplying the student population the Teacher Instructional Manuals in time.
It should be mentioned that we who work according to the theme of 'handing a qualitatively good book to students in time' have been able to fulfil our aims during the past few years.
Our sole intention is to go forward with a new power and fresh temper on every day to come. Our next target is to compile all the textbooks that are essential for every subject electronically and to upload them to this website.
We have already taken necessary steps to carry out that target. I am pleased to mention that some of the books have already been uploaded and you can either download them or learn interactively with them. Our aim is to upload all the other textbooks to the internet as early as possible.
