From Ms. Debbie Bautista, one of our instructors in the Mathematics Deparment of Ateneo de Manila University:
"Through the many encounters we have with different students, we have observed how many students continue to have a superficial knowledge of basic math concepts even in the tertiary level.
This has drawn us to set-up a math facility that will provide and train elementary teachers with the use and benefits of teaching aids such as concrete manipulatives, printed material, and enrichment tasks suitable for classroom instruction.
This project is also supervised by the Social Innovations class under theDevelopment Studies program and the Ateneo School of Government. This class serves as a university incubator for social entrepreneurs fusing theoretical andpractical approaches.
It takes students out of the classroom to join hands with corporate executives, government, professionals, NGO leaders and social entrepreneurship practitioners to change the world.
Currently at the start-up stage we have established contact with the Department of Education which approved our plans to implement this long term project inBetty Go-Belmonte Elementary School."
