Equatorial Guinea updates 2006 textbooks
A commission of over 90 sub-commissions will review and update educational materials to reflect the country's changes.
Equatorial Guinea's Ministry of Education is updating and reprinting teaching manuals last revised in 2006. Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue presided over a meeting in Malabo where Minister of State Clemente Engonga Nguema Onguene explained the project's progress. A technical working commission with more than 90 sub-commissions is reviewing the books to correct errors and update content, incorporating teacher feedback.
The updated manuals will reflect changes in Equatorial Guinea over the past 20 years, including information on municipalities, urban districts, history, culture, and traditions. The Vice President authorized the editorial representatives to work with ministry technicians on revisions. He also instructed the Prime Minister to ensure other implicated ministries submit pending information to prevent further delays.
Two workshops will be held in Malabo and Bata to analyze commission reports and consolidate observations into a single document for the publisher. The goal is to ensure the new textbooks accurately represent the country's evolution.
