Amman, August 11 (Petra) – National Center for Curriculum Development and Evaluation ( (NCCD) announced an update on the mechanism to display approved school textbooks on its official website.

The new option will enable beneficiaries to directly browse materials without downloading.

According to a NCCD statement issued on Tuesday, this step comes as part of the center's commitment to streamlining access for students, teachers, and parents to browse approved educational content and protect copyright.

On its feasibility, this move would also ensure availability of books electronically from their official source, and limit their copying, republication, distribution, or sale processes without the necessary permissions from the copyright holder.

The center noted that this decision will not constitute a license to download, copy, photocopy, reproduce, print, publish, distribute, circulate, sell, or exploit books for commercial purposes, in whole or in part, by any means.

The center said the books and educational content published on its website are subject to the provisions of the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Law No. (22) of 1992 and its amendments, which regulate rights of reproduction, publication, distribution, and public access, and protects works from unauthorized use.

To dodge any violations, the center urged online libraries, platforms, and various entities to adhere to copyright and publishing rights and refrain from extracting copies of the available books on the website.

Requiring necessary legal approvals to republish, print, or offer books for sale, the center said this procedure secures protection of rights of the copyright holders and circulation of officially approved copies.

The center also advised those wishing to obtain printed copies to contact the Ministry of Education. To view textbooks, please visit the center's official website: https://nccd.gov.jo/Ar/Pages/textbooks -- //Petra//AG
