Govt not satisfied with Maths teaching method

Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Professor Paul Mavima said that Government is not satisfied with the way mathematics is being taught and said that they are looking for ways to improve it.

Mavima also said that Zimbabwe was doing well according to the assessment done by the Southern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ) which tests Grade Six pupils against a common standard from 16 countries after every 5 years. Said Mavima:

We are doing well, as a country we compare very well with other countries. But there are areas where we want to improve. We don’t think we are doing as much as we should for example about 40 percent of our Grade six cohort of 2013 didn’t do as well as we would have wanted. More so, in Mathematics than in reading and other things we need to look at how we are teaching Mathematics and improve on it.
