教育部5月28日就人教版小学数学教材插图问题作出回应，要求立即整改重新绘制，并部署对全国中小学教材进行全面排查。
近期，人教版小学数学教材插图受到社会广泛关注，教育部高度重视，经研究决定：责成人民教育出版社立即整改，重新组织专业力量绘制教材插图，确保2022年秋季学期开始使用新教材。教育部将组织专家团队进行严格审核把关。
The Ministry of Education has asked the publisher of primary school math textbooks to revise the illustrations after they caused a public outcry for being unappealing and inappropriate.
The ministry has asked the People's Education Press to carry out prompt rectification measures and make sure the new textbooks are available for students before the start of the autumn semester in September, it said in a news release on Saturday.
教育部立即部署对全国中小学教材进行全面排查，重点是教材内容、插图等，发现问题立即整改，确保教材坚持正确政治方向和价值导向，弘扬中华优秀文化，符合大众审美习惯。畅通中小学教材问题快速反映通道，欢迎社会各界随时提出意见建议，教育部将认真研判、及时处理。
The ministry will also conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all textbooks used by primary and secondary schools nationwide, especially regarding their content and illustrations.
The evaluation aims to make sure they adhere to the right political direction and values, promote traditional Chinese culture and conform to public aesthetic taste, and any problems found will be corrected immediately, the release said.
The ministry welcomes suggestions on the textbooks sent by the public, which will be taken into account in a timely manner, it added.
人民教育出版社28日表示，已成立工作专班，全面负责小学数学教材插图整改工作，在今年9月1日前全面整改到位，并将按照有关规定和流程，在全国范围内重新遴选优秀设计团队，对小学数学全套教材所有插图进行绘制更换。在重新绘制过程中，将专门听取社会各界尤其是一线师生及家长的意见和建议。
The People's Education Press has expressed deep apologies and remorse for the illustrations.
The publisher said it has set up a work group to redo the illustrations, which will be completed before Sept 1, it said in a statement on Saturday. It will select new design teams to work on the illustration in math textbooks used by primary school students, taking suggestions from the public, especially teachers, students and parents, the statement said.
It will conduct an evaluation on other textbooks it publishes and make corrections immediately for any possible problems, the statement added.
