50 learners participated for this quarter for Six (6) hours each week for three (3) hours per day for two (2) days per week. Two (2) maths Tutor engaged for the quarter.
85% of the participants demonstrated math skill in solving real life problems showing a deep mastery of the topics they took for the three-month period in the quarter.
Resources were drawn from both online and offline including certified Math textbooks from renowned authors, Mathematical sets, statistical tables, computers to demonstrate periodic applications. Calculators and construction materials.
Achievements seen prior to and following this quarter are participant who enrolled for external examinations like the west Africa Examination council (WAEC), Joint Admission and Matriculation Boards (JAMB/UTME) and excelling in these exams. We have participants in our centre who have gained admission to study the course of their choice in various Nigerian Universities.
We look forward to expanding this project to reach 1250 boys in our communities who hitherto may have given up in pursuing their dreams just because they are challenged in Mathematics. We have had a situation of this nature where a participant who currently is studying Mechanical Engineering in one of the University in Nigeria almost giving up his dream but for the intervention of SIR.
The understanding of mathematical science is the basis for scientific and technological advancement. Our vision is to fish out from various community’s young people who may have potentials in science and technology but are too scared to pursue their dreams. This will give opportunities to young people and rekindle the hope of fulfilling their dreams.
There are many young people in our communities that have lost out in their dreams. Our interview with them revealed that they gave up their dreams to join some cult groups because they were frustrated. With what we have done so far, it appears the situation would need more attention and the support of donors will help the expansion work in reaching many of these young people and redirecting their attention to their dreams with the teaching mathematics as a mentoring platform.
