The National Curriculum and Textbook Board, or the NCTB, is once again stuck in a rut over the timely distribution of textbooks for the 2024 academic year. The eighth and ninth-grade students will receive brand-new books under the new curriculum. However, the time taken to prepare the manuscripts of the textbooks has delayed the printing, said the NCTB officials. In 2022 and 2023, children had to wait until March to get all of their academic textbooks. The NCTB is set to distribute more than 307 million books for the new academic year in 2024.
