Government schools are facing delays in the distribution of free textbooks following the summer holidays, creating difficulties for students as the new academic term gets underway.
The delay has raised concerns among parents, teachers and students, particularly in schools where learners have not yet received the books required for their classes. Without textbooks, students may face difficulties keeping up with lessons and completing classroom assignments.
Free textbook distribution is an important part of the public education system, especially for students from families who may not be able to afford additional educational materials. Timely availability of books is therefore essential for ensuring that students can begin their studies without disruption.
Teachers and school administrations are expected to manage the situation while waiting for the remaining textbooks to arrive. The delay has also highlighted the need for better planning and timely distribution of educational materials before the start of the academic session.
