The Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) has begun the scientific, linguistic and didactic revision of textbooks for the primary and secondary school subsystems, according to the Minister of Education.

According to Namashulua, 20 elementary school textbooks are under review while the remaining 66 belong to the general secondary school subsystem.

Recently, the structure of the MINEDH was shaken because several elementary school textbooks contained errors in content. In an attempt to hush up the affair and protect her image, Carmelita Namashulua, whose skills and wisdom have been called into question, had the institution's spokesperson and other staff, including staff from the National Institute for Education Development and the author of the sixth grade social science textbook, Firoza Bicá, dismissed. After so much dodging to comment on the matter, at a press conference the Minister only read a document and her new spokesperson forbade journalists to ask questions. Currently, proceedings are underway to ascertain the real causes of the errors, and preliminary data advanced by the press point to possible "sabotage". Find out more...

The information about the textbook revision was shared during MINEDH's Coordination Council, which ended on Thursday in the district of Gondola, in the central province of Manica.

"Everything is being done so that the books under revision do not contain methodological, scientific, and linguistic errors, as happened with the sixth grade Social Science textbook," said the Minister, assuring that teachers from primary, secondary, and higher education schools are participating in this process.
