The Aga Khan University’s Institute of Education Development has embarked on a journey to empower mathematics teachers and revolutionise the way the subject is taught. Recognising the need for change, the university hosted a two-day workshop aimed at equipping teachers with modern teaching techniques, steering away from intimidating tactics that often deter students from embracing mathematics. Assistant Professor Peter Kajolwa, leading the initiative, highlighted the importance of this approach in addressing the persistently unsatisfactory results in national examinations. “We brought together 20 teachers from schools around Dar es Salaam and coast regions, focusing on empowering them with competence and effectiveness in teaching mathematics,” Prof Kajolwa explained.
