While speaking at the online press briefing of the Central Communications Service, Minister of Education and Science Aimagambetov said each child will have an actual textbook despite that fact that academic process has been transferred into virtual format.
The ministry, according to Aimagambetov, has already made sure that publishing houses print and deliver the necessary textbooks. «It is of paramount importance that every child has a paper-based textbook at hand despite remote learning,» he stressed.
