-in effort to arrest falling pass rates
As part of its efforts to effect a turnaround in the national mathematics pass rate which has been on a downward trend in recent years, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has launched a Math Intervention Awareness Campaign to promote its revised National Mathematics Intervention Programme which kicked off earlier in September.
A team of 50 math monitors—including retired maths teachers, maths degree holders, and university lecturers—has been assembled to work directly with 50 targeted schools to ensure effective classroom instruction. Schools selected for the programme are those with historically low pass rates, particularly in Grades 10 and 11, a MoE release stated yesterday.
