Government intends to print school text books on high quality Japanese paper, to prevent costly reprints, said Education Ministry Secretary Upali Marasinghe.
He said an Indian company is to print the Grade 6 Science text book on a trial basis using this paper.
This paper is said to last about 8 years, unlike the present paper, where books need to be reprinted every 2 years. He said it would suffice if the books last 6 years.
Samples of the paper have already been provided and discussions held, he added.
