Efforts have been made to ensure that the material is representative and respectful of all communities, promoting equality and inclusivity in education. - Skill Development:
Beyond academic knowledge, the new textbooks focus on skill development. There is a strong emphasis on practical skills, such as coding, financial literacy, and communication skills, preparing students for the demands of the modern world.
