The government is preparing to print approximately 310 million textbooks for the 2027 academic year, aiming for distribution by November 30th. However, the printing process is facing significant disruption due to widespread power outages, raising concerns about timely delivery. This situation casts doubt on whether students will receive their books on schedule. The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) acknowledges the power crisis and states that special measures are being taken to mitigate the impact. Despite these efforts, the potential for delays remains a serious concern for educational authorities. The impact of the power cuts could affect the start of the academic year and access to essential learning materials. NCTB is working to resolve the issue and ensure minimal disruption.
