It is known that Nghe An is a rare locality in the country that adds a set of supplementary books to primary schools. Most other localities, when using the Kite textbook, will also use the Kite’s supplementary books, and when using the Knowledge Connection textbook, they will also use the exercise books of the Knowledge Connection book series.
It should be noted that the book price of the Practice and Capacity Development Series is much higher than the supplementary books accompanying the textbooks, which raises the question of whether or not there is a “handshake” of interest groups in the development of textbooks. Using supplementary books at primary schools in Vinh City?
Request the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An, the Department of Education and Training of Vinh City and the authorities to clarify.
