CRDP-Ebooks 4.0.0

The Center for Educational Research and Development (CRDP) offers teachers, students, and parents in Lebanon access to digital versions of national textbooks and their corresponding educational guides. Available for all educational stages from preschool to the third year of secondary school, this digital collection covers a broad range of subjects. This initiative aligns with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education's (MEHE) strategy in Lebanon to enhance distance learning opportunities nationwide.

CRDP has introduced the "CRDP ebooks" application for downloading these digital textbooks at no cost. Users can easily download all required textbooks at the beginning of the academic year with a one-time internet connection, providing offline access throughout the school year. The primary aim is to alleviate the instructional challenges faced by educators and students in public schools during remote learning, aiming to enhance the overall educational quality for Lebanese learners.
