Despite this, a few years ago, a World Bank study highlighted the fact that there simply aren't enough textbooks for most students in Africa, and what is available is too expensive. The main objective of the this course is to equip anyone in a position to advise, administer, or design a book provision project with the necessary knowledge in order to make the appropriate input and right decisions. The focus throughout is on how to get affordable books to school children when and where needed. It is designed to be a practical resource that covers the key issues encountered in textbook provision, ranging from authorship through national publishing infrastructure to pricing, and distribution. The course is organized in 12 modules under four sections: understanding the textbook industry; book acquisition strategies; distribution strategies; and policy and practice. It provides functional knowledge of the workings of the book industry and its role in supporting learning and education. This will include detailed study of the work that publishers, printers, and distributors do. It also focuses on how the book industry costs books and the methods and trade-offs governments have to make in financing textbooks and supplementary readers.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALAUTHORSAVAILABILITY OF BOOKSBASIC READINGBASIC SKILLSBINDINGBLACKBOARDSBOOK CHAINBOOK COVERSBOOK DISTRIBUTIONBOOK DISTRIBUTORSBOOK FINANCINGBOOK IMPORTSBOOK MARKETBOOK POLICYBOOK PRODUCTIONBOOK PROVISIONBOOK PUBLISHERSBOOK PUBLISHINGBOOK PUBLISHING INDUSTRYBOOK SELECTIONBOOK SHORTAGEBOOK SUPPLYCALLCIVIL SOCIETYCLASS TIMECLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMPOSITIONCORE TEXTBOOKSCOST OF BOOKSCOURSE CONTENTCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUM EXPERTSCURRICULUM REVISIONCURRICULUM REVISIONSDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDISTRICT EDUCATIONDROPOUT RATEDROPOUT RATE OF GIRLSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION STRATEGYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL BOOKSEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONENROLLMENT RATEENROLMENT INCREASESFAMILY LIFEFAMILY LIFE EDUCATIONFEEDBACK FROM TEACHERSFREE TEXTBOOKSGENDER BIASGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY IN EDUCATIONHEAD TEACHERIMPROVING LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTINDIGENIZATIONINDIVIDUAL STUDYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERVENTIONSLANGUAGESLEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING MATERIALLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OBJECTIVESLEARNING OUTCOMESLETLIBRARY BOOKSLICENSESLOCAL PRINTINGLOCAL PUBLISHINGLOCAL PUBLISHING CAPACITYMANUSCRIPTMANUSCRIPTSMATH SKILLSMEDIAMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOTHER-TONGUENATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL PUBLISHERSNEEDS ASSESSMENTNUMBER OF PUPILSNUMBER OF STUDENTSPAMPHLETSPARTNERSHIPPEDAGOGYPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOL LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRINTING COSTSPRINTING PRESSPRINTING PRESSESPRIVATE PUBLISHERSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRODUCTION OF BOOKSPRODUCTION OF TEXTBOOKSPROVISION OF TEXTBOOKSPUBLISHERPUBLISHERSPUBLISHING INDUSTRYQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY LEARNINGQUALITY TEXTBOOKSREADABILITYREADINGREADING BOOKSREADING MATERIALREVIEWSRURAL AREASRURAL STUDENTSSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL LIBRARYSCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOL TEXTBOOKSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLCHILDRENSECONDARY EDUCATIONSKILLED LABORSOWSPECIFICATIONSSTUDENT PERFORMANCESUBJECT SPECIALISTSSUPPLEMENTARY READERSSUPPLY OF BOOKSSUSTAINABLE BOOK PROVISIONTEACHER GUIDESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING MATERIALSTEACHING METHODSTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOK BOARDTEXTBOOK CHAINTEXTBOOK COMPONENTTEXTBOOK CONTENTTEXTBOOK COSTSTEXTBOOK DEVELOPMENTTEXTBOOK INDUSTRYTEXTBOOK LISTTEXTBOOK MARKETTEXTBOOK POLICYTEXTBOOK PRINTINGTEXTBOOK PRODUCTIONTEXTBOOK PROVISIONTEXTBOOK PUBLISHINGTEXTBOOK RENTALTEXTBOOK RENTAL SCHEMETEXTBOOK SHORTAGETEXTBOOK SHORTAGESTEXTBOOKSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONVOUCHERSWORKBOOKSWRITERSYOUTH10.1596/18667
