About 1,200 corrections have been made to an atlas distributed by major textbook publisher Tokyo Shoseki Co. that is currently being used by high schools, it has been learned.
The atlas passed the screening of textbooks by the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry and has been in use by first-year high school students since April last year.
The company is providing schools with the corrected version of the atlas, causing an unusual situation.
