Preface
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) is fully aware of the importance
and necessity of producing a National Curriculum which meets the needs and aspirationsof the Palestinian society. It is also aware of the fact that such a curriculum is a means tofostering the well established values and traditions and a sustainable development spirit,as emphasized by the first Palestinian curricula plan principles.
The Ministry pays great attention to school textbooks since they are the basic componentof the curriculum, an indispensable medium of learning, in addition to other means oflearning such as the Technology education and the culture.
These textbooks constitute the foundation for Palestinian education; they include
experiences, information and data introduced in a simple, logical but challenging way,andsupported by suitable audio-visual aids.
The Ministry implemented the fifth phase of the Palestinian Curriculum Plan for the2004/2005, thus completing the basic cycle of primary education from grades 1-10. Theywill be followed by textbooks for the secondary stage.
These books are annually revised and enriched through feedback from educators andteachers in the field. The first four editions of each book are treated as trial copies. Themore efforts exerted in developing the school textbooks, the better the books will be. As aresult, collaborative efforts of educators and experts in this field are in continual flux toeffect changes through well-organized revisions.
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education thanks Arab, and friendly countries, inaddition to international institutions and organizations, for their support for the curriculumproject. It also extends its special thanks to national experts, educators, authors andprofessionals and all relevant ministerial committees for their distinguished andprofessional contribution to this achievement. Finally, we also extend our thanks toMacmillan Education for their contribution to the First Palestinian English curriculum.
