Shillong: Meghalaya’s Innovative Mathematics Learning Initiative was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Education Good Practice Awards (CEGPA).
In a communiqué received from the Commonwealth Secretariat, London, the Head of the Health and Education Unit, Dr. Joana Nurse, informed F.R. Kharkongor, Secretary, Education & State Project Director SSA, Meghalaya, that SSA Meghalaya’s project submission on its fledgling attempt at teaching Mathematics innovatively for foundational classes had been shortlisted as one of the Ten Top Finalists for the Commonwealth Education Good Practice Awards, 2015, which is scheduled to be presented during the opening ceremony of the 19th Commonwealth Education Ministers’ Meet at Bahamas on June 23.
However Meghalaya missed the Award by a whisker after the end of a stiff adjudication process which was completed on May 27.
The Commonwealth Secretariat conveyed that though the Meghalaya project was not selected, the panel ‘was very impressed with the project’ and that the project was ‘given strong consideration’ from amongst 89 project submissions from across the regions falling under the Commonwealth nations.
The communiqué also complimented the Meghalaya project for being amongst the Top Ten submissions.
It was also informed by the Commonwealth Secretariat that by virtue of being a finalist, the project would be featured in a publication to be released at the 19th CEMC at Bahamas and would also be featured in a website called ‘The Commonwealth Education Hub’.
