Mauritania's National Educational Institute has significantly bolstered its supply of school books, with over 1 million additional copies in storage. The institute's director, Sheikh Sidi Abdallah, made the announcement as the first batch of school books for the 2026-2027 academic year was distributed. This move aims to ensure that schools have sufficient textbooks for students.
According to Sheikh Sidi Abdallah, the institute has, for the first time, completed the development of Mauritania's national curricula for all educational levels. This milestone enables the institute to provide comprehensive educational materials to students across the country. The institute has made significant progress in making textbooks available to students.
Currently, between 80 and 85 percent of the textbooks are available in printed form, while all textbooks are accessible in digital format. This allows students to access educational materials through various platforms, enhancing their learning experience. The institute's efforts to provide textbooks in both printed and digital formats are ongoing.
The distribution process involves over 1 million school books across 87 titles, covering various stages of primary, middle, and high school education. This comprehensive distribution aims to support students throughout their educational journey. The institute plans to conduct further distribution processes throughout the academic year.
The distribution of textbooks is primarily based on printed copies, with a digital platform also available for students to access and download textbooks. This approach ensures that students have flexible options for accessing educational materials. The digital platform is particularly useful for students who require access to textbooks that are still being printed.
Sheikh Sidi Abdallah emphasized that the institute is working tirelessly to complete the printing and provision of various textbook titles. This will guarantee that all necessary textbooks are available to students by the end of the current year. The institute's efforts are focused on supporting the educational needs of Mauritanian students.
The National Educational Institute's efforts to enhance the availability of school books are expected to have a positive impact on education in Mauritania.
