Is my work of preparing external books for school curricula, based on textbooks that are printed for free and whose copyright is reserved for a certain company, considered an infringement on the publishing house's rights, knowing that our work is licensed by the Ministries of Information and Education, and does this license guarantee that our work is Islamically permissible?

There is no objection to the aforementioned work, as long as the dealing is between you and an official body like the Ministry of Education; as it is preponderant that it is authorized in matters requiring authorization concerning intellectual property rights. You are not obligated to search for that, unless it is highly probable otherwise.
