[Maths-Education] Re: REMINDER - CRME SEMINAR - WEDNESDAY 23RD OCTOBER

[Marie Joubert]

Dear all

Some people will be going out for a meal after the seminar. Anyone is welcome to join.
I am also assuming that there will be a meal next week after Barbara Jaworski's seminar but I will check with her.

> Rurality may take different meanings in different places. In Sabah, in north Borneo, rurality is often coupled with remoteness, as many rural schools are located in wide and isolated areas with unique terrain. As such, education of the rural and remote children and transformation of the schools serving these communities is not an easy task. Concerned with the low performance of these schools, the Sabah Foundation initiated the InSPIRE project (Integrated System of Programmed Instruction for Rural Environment) to improve rural schools' performance in four subject areas - Malay language, English language, Mathematics and Science. In this seminar, I will be discussing how the project was taken on board by the School of Education team and will be sharing some of the obstacles faced in the implementation of the project. I will also be discussing the development of the Mathematics modules.
