The Minister for Education in Ghana, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has pledged to collaborate with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Ghana and other mathematics institutions to transform the teaching of the subject and make it more practical.
Adutwum said the contributions of AIMS would be a strong foundation to empower maths teachers and others to be professional, identify the challenges and needs of the students and respond accordingly.
The Minister said this on a virtual platform to commemorate International Day of Mathematics organised by AIMS Ghana on the theme: “Mathematics for a Better World”.
He said the government had invested and prioritised the study of Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics (STEM) to encourage students to focus more on science subjects and improve the country’s growth.
He encouraged mathematics teachers to help demystify the notion that mathematics is difficult and encouraged students to appreciate the importance of the subject for national development.
The minister assured AIMS of the Ministry’s support to encourage students to appreciate that mathematics was not an enemy but a friend.
He commended all mathematicians in the country and across the globe in ensuring that children acquire the necessary tools and understanding of the subject to contribute to national development.
