Primary maths teachers to get lessons on subject


Teachers of mathematics for standard I to V in state-run schools will receive special training in the subject. The aim is to improve the maths performance of students in that age group. The state education department took the decision after receiving several reports by private and government agencies that highlighted poor performance of the state board students, particularly in mathematics.
Govind Nandede, director of the Maharashtra state council of education research and training (MSCERT) stated that, “Training would be conducted to ensure that the teachers' foundation of the subject is strong enough. This initiative is for primary teachers who teach mathematics for standards I to V .“ The training would be imparted to 25% teachers in every district. The MSCERT has already invited applications from teachers to register for training.The course will mainly concentrate on teaching mathematics concepts with the help of practical activities. “The state education department adopted the concept of activity-based teaching in schools two years ago and the same will be inculcated during training sessions as well,“ Nandede said.
The last day to fill up forms is November 15.
