Morphology
The meaning 'a book prepared for use in schools' is directly and compositionally derived from 'school' (educational institution) + 'text' (instructional book); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this compound noun. This is a common, transparent word-formation pattern across languages and matches standard English noun-noun compounds, so the phrase is readily understandable without prior exposure.
Etymology
School text comes from classrooms where the school picked one text for everyone to read. That clear picture of the same book for all students explains why it means 'a standard study book' used in schools today.
