The ministry in a statement said it has completed all the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) processes for the publishers to supply the textbooks within the next 120 days.
"With the completion of all procurement processes by the PPA, publishers are expected to supply textbooks within 120days. The Minister for Education Dr. Adutwum is still committed to providing our basic school textbooks.
It said it has been noted with surprise, that news publications purport that the government is unable to provide schools with textbooks for the new curriculum until 2024.
"The ministry is, by this statement, encouraging the public to disregard such false publications, which are merely motivated by the mischief of some individuals and media organizations," the statement noted.
