- Lack of qualified mathematics teachers in our country has contributed to students failing the subject in the country, mathematics professors have said.
Speaking to journalists in Yola recently, a lecturer at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Prof. Bayo Lawal said most teachers who teach mathematics in schools are not well trained in the field thereby hindering the capability of students in the subject.
Prof. Lawal said that the government should ensure that only trained teachers in mathematics are employed to teach the subjects in schools, stressing that the teachers also need proper motivation to carry out their responsibilities.
2. Another don in mathematics at the university, Prof. Adeleke Adegboye said lecturers instill fear in the students and discourage them from interest in the subject.
Do you have any other main causes for our students failing mathematics? I believe not only mathematics in which our students fail, but to start with, I selected mathematics.
