Unveiling of New First-Grade Elementary and Technical-Vocational Textbooks at Darolfonun; "Treasure Map" Persian Textbook for First Grade Introduced

According to the Public Relations and International Affairs Office of the Educational Research and Planning Organization, new achievements of the organization in the field of compiling new textbooks were unveiled during a press conference by Dr. Ali Latifi at Darolfonun School.

During this ceremony, seven new first-grade elementary textbooks were introduced. These include: I Read Persian, I Write Persian, Lovable Mathematics, The World Around Us, Art and Creativity Workbook, Movement and Play Workbook, and Quran Education. These have been designed and compiled within the framework of the curriculum transformation scheme. This collection is designed as the first executive step of the curriculum transformation plan, aiming to provide a foundation for deeper learning and more active participation of students and teachers. Its pilot implementation began in October 2025.

Furthermore, 15 new volumes of technical and vocational textbooks were unveiled. These have been compiled with the goal of modernizing skills training and aligning with labor market and technological developments. These books are:

• Installation of Low-Current Systems

In another part of the unveiling, innovations in the first-grade elementary Persian textbook, titled "Treasure Map," were revealed. This book is designed with a new approach to teaching the Persian language and literature, striving to make the process of learning to read and write more engaging and effective for students by utilizing stories, images, games, and interactive activities.

According to Latifi, these new textbooks are a sign of the movement of the country's educational system towards fundamental transformation in learning content, methods, and structure—a transformation that began with the pilot implementation of the school-based curriculum in the first grade of elementary school and is planned to expand to other grades and levels in the coming years.
