I guess, but a print copy of some subset of Wikipedia doesn't seem like the best solution for someone who already has access to school textbooks. If you're talking about a major language, there are already encyclopedias written for them, and copies can probably be had for much less it would cost to publish a print edition of Wikipedia. If you're talking about a minor language, I don't know. Are there languages for which Wikipedia is unarguably the best encyclopedia, with enough native speakers to make a print run feasible, and for which offering an encyclopedia in a non-native language wouldn't be more effective? Maybe.
