The selection of textbooks in schools is guided by several criteria, including educational standards, alignment with the curriculum, and the quality of content. Textbooks should be accurate, up-to-date, and relevant to the subjects they cover. Additionally, considerations of diversity and representation are important, ensuring that materials reflect various perspectives and cultures. Accessibility for all students, including those with special needs, is also a critical factor. The review process typically involves educators, administrators, and sometimes parents to ensure that the chosen materials effectively support learning objectives.
