Grade 4 Textbook Price.

In 2023, although input costs (materials, printing costs) continued to increase, Vietnam Education Publishing House continued to reduce costs to reduce the selling price of textbooks for grades 4, 8 and 11.

Textbooks from the Vietnam Education Publishing House currently have the lowest prices among approved textbooks. For example, the book series "Connecting knowledge with life" has a price 22%-26% lower than the price of textbooks from other publishers (excluding English books; subjects and topics selected for grade 11).

Along with reducing profits and other costs, Vietnam Education Publishing House has continued to reduce distribution fees (discounts) so that the prices of textbooks for grades 4, 8, and 11 are lower than last year. Distribution fees include transportation, warehousing, labor costs, etc. The prices of textbooks for grades 4, 8, and 11 are 4% - 6% lower than those for textbooks for grades 3, 7, and 10 applied from the previous school year based on a comparison of the average unit price per page of a book (total cover price over the total number of pages of the book set).

Continuing to implement the textbook support program for students in difficult circumstances, in 2023, Vietnam Education Publishing House will allocate a larger budget to give free textbooks to students, books to school libraries nationwide and scholarships to students.
