¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, textbooks and modules are two different things. Printed textbooks have been distributed. What was paused relates to Grade 6 modules under the first phase of reforms. We have neither rejected nor scrapped them. Grade 6 reforms are planned for implementation in 2027, and we intend to use those modules then, with necessary corrections identified. Therefore, there is no loss arising from withdrawal.
