The Ministry of Education and Training said that textbooks specify the program content and are identified as important learning materials and documents for schools to choose to organize teaching.

Teachers and schools are given the right to proactively arrange learning topics, update and supplement content to suit the students, teaching and learning conditions and practice. In the 2025-2026 school year, teachers and schools will continue to use the current curriculum and textbooks, while proactively selecting and adjusting teaching materials, lessons and topics to suit local practice and the two-level government model.
