The elaborate journey of book compilation
Implementing the policy of socializing textbook compilation according to Resolution No. 88 of the National Assembly, for the first time in history, the Canh Dieu textbook series was born, becoming a pioneering series, eliminating the textbook rights mechanism that has existed for more than 60 years.
Vietnam Education Equipment and Publishing Investment Joint Stock Company (VEPIC) is a compilation and publishing organization that cooperates with reputable publishers: University of Education Publishing House (Hanoi), Ho Chi Minh City University of Education Publishing House, Hue University Publishing House.
Thoroughly implementing the motto of full acceptance, serious correction, convincing explanation, and friendly attitude, the team of authors and editors are ready to work anytime, anywhere, regardless of day or night to best and fastest meet the requirements of the national textbook appraisal council, so that their "brainchildren" can reach the hands of students and teachers nationwide.
Rarely is there a textbook series where each author stands on stage, records himself, becomes an MC, records videos introducing the textbooks, to promptly bring information about new textbooks and teaching methods according to new textbooks to millions of teachers across the country. Rarely is there a textbook series where teachers can interact directly, have their questions and concerns answered, and be accompanied throughout the process of using textbooks through groups and social networking platforms...
All of these things show one thing, the team of authors and editors are dedicated people, struggling to create “brainchildren” that are beautiful in form and quality in content. Their dedication, responsibility, and spirit are imprinted on every page of the book.
