BY FAVOUR NNABUGWU<\/p>\n

ABUJA-Minister of\u00a0 Education, Prof Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa\u2019i has called on National Mathematical Centre, NMC, to take immediate steps to simplify the teaching of Mathematics in the country to engender the interest of students.<\/p>\n

Prof. Rufa\u2019i identified poor perception and teaching method as largely responsible for the lack of interest in the subject by students, stressing that Mathematics is a \u2018\u2019Must Pass Subject\u201d for every student hence the need to arouse their interest through improved teaching methods.<\/p>\n

The minister spoke while receiving the Chief Executive of NMC, Prof. Sam Ale who was on a courtesy call to congratulate her on her re-appointment.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cPresident Goodluck Jonathan and indeed the Federal Ministry of Education are keen on proper understanding of Mathematics as a major tool for the study of other subjects\u201d and assured of the continued support of the Federal Government to the centre\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Minister urged the leadership of the NMC to come up immediately with achievable targets for the next 100 days which would be incorporated in the larger plan being developed by the Ministry in line with the Education Roadmap, One Year Strategy Plan and recommendations of various Committees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
