The textbooks are notably thicker than those that were approved in the last round of screening. When approving books for use from fiscal 2002, the ministry's catchphrase was "education with latitude." The average number of pages has increased 42.8 percent. In the case of mathematics and science, books' length has increased 67.0 percent and 67.3 percent, respectively.
