The Education Ministry has acknowledged the effort of the Fiji Mathematics Competition organisers in making the subject interesting through inter-school competitions.
The ministry is taking interest to see how the competition develops the teaching of mathematics in schools since not all students are enthusiastic about it.
The fact that all schools are invited with a reasonable fee means the Education Ministryenvisages all principals and heads of department (HOD’s) for mathematics in seeing the merits of this exercise and take advantage of it.
However, on the other note, the ministry would greatly appreciate that the competition be developed to make it inclusive.
Maths is part of everyone’s life including students, if it is only developed for those who are good at it, then the competition should be reviewed.
Maths is universal and has to be taught and learned as such.
The ministry is looking forward to the competition which is scheduled for June 23.
