The landmark achievements recorded by the Ogun State Government in the teaching of Mathematics have been ascribed to the concerted efforts of the Subject Associations, who served as major partners with the government in shaping the lives of learners for outstanding performances in schools across the State.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Mrs. Abosede Ogunleye made this known during a familiarisation visit of the newly elected State executive of the Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN)
He said the Association has been a major influence on the teaching of the subject and had helped learners to develop more interest in the subject unlike before.
Mrs. Ogunleye said the huge investment of the present administration in education has complemented the strides of Mathematics teachers and had enabled the State to write its name on milestones of success, particularly in competitions both at the State and national levels.
According to Ogunleye,” We want to appreciate your Association for cooperating with the Ministry to achieve feats. Our partnership has led to more achievements in the education sector of the State”.
Earlier in his remarks, the National President of MAN, Prof. Kamoru Usman, represented by the National Ex-Officio, Mr. Joseph Bankole, commended the State government for the financial and moral support towards the success of the 2022 National Conference of the Association in Abeokuta.
On his part, the President of MAN, Ogun State Chapter, Dr. Temitope Ajani, said the gesture and commitment of the current administration to improving the teaching of the subject had made the Association thrive and be recognized across the country.
