ADB providing 1 mln textbooks to schools across Aceh and Nias

The textbooks on biology, chemistry, physics, information and communication technology, English and mathematics will replace outdated editions and replenish chronic shortages of the new 2006 curriculum textbooks being introduced to the schools this year, the agency was quoted as saying by Thomson Financial.
The Aceh-Nias Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation Agency (BRR) is implementing the education component, which will give more than 100,000 senior secondary students at 395 schools access to the 1.39 mln new textbooks, it added.
