Publishing Professional Conference: The Role of Publishing in the New Curriculum
The 2015 curriculum will be implemented in elementary, middle, and high schools starting in 2018. How does the new curriculum, including strengthened reading education such as 'Read One Book per Semester,' affect the publishing industry?
