Education Ministry clarifies school book prices
The Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education clarifies that the prices of school textbooks adopted by private schools are determined by the Ministry of Economy and Trade in coordination with the Publishers' Syndicate, and the Ministry has no authority over pricing. It is confirmed that textbooks produced by local publishing houses and used in public and private schools are priced by the Educational Research and Development Center, which is responsible for their content and ensuring their compliance with the national curriculum, without any influence over their pricing. As for imported books, they are subject to shipping costs, customs fees, and require import approval from General Security; the Ministry does not set their prices, as these depend on the exporter’s policies and transportation costs. It has been emphasized that national books, including the unified history book, are produced and sold at low prices by the Educational Research and Development Center with the aim of supporting the educational process on a non-profit basis.
