Regional Education Officer (REO) Baramadai Seepersaud, stressed that the primary aim of the activity was to equip parents, and by extension students, with the necessary information to better handle the subject area.
“You need to make sacrifices, sit with your children and help them practice Mathematics, we are helping you to help your children,” Seepersaud said.
The REO also explained that several parents were given free flash drives and past Mathematics examination papers. The parents were also assured by education officers that the programmes are updated according to the present curriculum. Primary, nursery and secondary schools benefited from the exercise.
The parents present lauded the efforts, which they noted would go a long way towards boosting Mathematics within the region. More importantly, it would assist the students in their preparation for upcoming examinations. Parents are advised to visit the Department of Education anytime for the programmes and Mathematics problems and answers, which would be transferred to their flash drives.
