Overview

The aim of this course is to meet the nation's needs of skilled professional mathematics teachers for the secondary and higher secondary mathematics subjects. To achieve the aims of this program, our participants will study Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, Mechanics, Differential equations which will equip them subject content. In addition students will take educational units like psychology, classroom management, pedagogy and teaching practice etc to equip them with the educational background. This course brings in subject knowledge and applications of mathematics, mathematics teaching and education studies together to equip graduates with right tools to meets all the challenges of teaching mathematics to secondary and higher secondary students. Better teaching of Mathematics leads to better understanding of mathematics which in turn results in the development of science, technology and engineering.
