Textbooks Coming Soon, Assures Sakeena Itoo
Education Minister Sakeena Itoo recently addressed the long-standing issue of delayed textbook distribution in government schools, assuring that all necessary materials would be made available soon. The announcement comes as a relief to students and parents who have voiced concerns about academic disruptions due to the unavailability of textbooks.
In a press briefing, Itoo acknowledged the challenges faced by students, especially those in remote areas, and emphasized the government’s commitment to resolving the issue. She stated that the distribution process has been expedited and that schools will receive textbooks in the coming weeks. “We are fully aware of the difficulties students face. Ensuring timely access to educational resources remains our top priority,” she said.
The delay in textbook distribution has sparked criticism from educators and activists, who argue that the issue reflects a larger systemic failure in the education sector. Some teachers have resorted to alternative teaching methods, while others have struggled to keep students engaged without essential learning materials.
While Itoo’s assurance has been met with cautious optimism, many believe that consistent delays in education-related resources highlight the need for better planning and accountability. Critics have called for reforms to ensure that such issues do not recur in future academic sessions.
As students await the arrival of textbooks, the education department faces mounting pressure to deliver on its promises swiftly. For now, the question remains whether this announcement will translate into action or fade away as another unfulfilled pledge.
