Textbook publishers had less than two years from the announcement of the reforms to the deadline for publishing. "We had to (do everything): write the books, print them, get government approval and make revisions," says Carrie Chen, assistant director of Kang Ho Publishing Company's research center. Chen remembers that they were doing revisions at the same time the layouts were being completed.
出版商從政策宣佈開放到編印完成，幾乎不到兩年，「要寫、要印、要送審，還要修改」，康和出版公司研究中心副理陳寶香說，這中間幾乎是一邊修改，一邊完稿，還要到各校辦理教材研習，時間壓力可見。
