“we so much appreciate this notable project because mathematics is a very important subject and as we all know that the major objective of UBE is to inculcate in Children, Literacy numeracy, life skills and values that will help them in lifelong Education and as well to solve life problems and we found out that student regards this subject as an almighty mathematics including myself because I struggled to have the last credit in my O’levels Examination and this method will really help the teachers and the learners to develop the capacity to understand mathematics better and be able to learn it in a fun way and it will make it easier and the achievement of the UBE will be easier. We are going to put up all our efforts in making sure that this project reaches the grassroot..as long as we are able to raise funds, we’d be able to procure some of these items for the use in our public primary schools.”
