Mathematics for the 21st century
Why are mathematics taught?
From Aristotle, Plato, Al-Khawarizmi, and Al-Kindi, to John Allen Paulos (Temple U.), Paul Ernest, (U. of Exeter), and Eleanor Robson (U. of Oxford), maths thinkers have stated three types of reasons: emotional, cognitive and practical.

What do we really know about teaching?
I have often heard it said that
everyone thinks they are an expert on education simply because they went to
school. This is an overstatement, of course, but it does seem today that more
and more people have – and express – an opinion about teachers and the quality
of their teaching.
The high cost of truancy
Resisting authority may be some
teenagers’ sport of preference, but they’re hobbling themselves if they think
that skipping school is cool. Results from PISA 2012 show that playing truant is related
to significantly poorer performance in mathematics, which has repercussions on
students’ futures, and on the performance of their school and school system.
But all parents and teachers have the means to reduce the incidence of truancy.
A new direction for education reform in China
China has worked hard to expand
access and improve the quality of education by trying many alternative
approaches to educate more people, both by drawing on the experiences of other
countries or retrieving historical practices. The progress to date has been
tremendous, with nine-year basic education universalised, mass higher education
attained, and youth and adult illiteracy eradicated. The recent 3rd plenary
session of the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee announced
a number of strategies to address social and economic challenges faced by
China. These strategies will, among other things, frame the future direction of
Chinese education. The purpose of the new reforms is not only to pursue further
development, but also address the problems arising from the rapid changes made
over the last two decades.
Three essential questions that leaders at workplace must ask themselves
Even without an official title, and
irrespective of your position in the organisational hierarchy , you can be a
‘leader’ in your own right through your action and attitude. True. But the
story is vastly different when you are a
“leader” by title, i.e when you are ‘assigned’ a leadership position by your
organization, and are expected to lead a group of people assigned to you to a
certain goal. In this case, you are officially responsible for the outcome, not
only of your own productivity, but more significantly for the outcome of your
people’s productive behavior as well. You have to effectively convert a bunch
of people to an effective and successful team, that owns a shared
goal and achieves it together, following you as the leader.
Green Acts : Am I doing my bit?
Very simply put: We and all
living beings need air, water, soil and energy to live; but unfortunately the
ways in which our lifestyle has been evolving, especially over the last few
decades, either we are consuming stocks of natural resources too fast to be
replenished by Nature or we are mindlessly wasting or polluting scarce
resources. Coupled with that, we are not yet able to find enough and viable sources
of renewable energy. Result? Global Warming, Resource Depletion, Energy Crisis
and dangers of possible extinction of even the human race in not-too-distant a
future, unless we all act
appropriately!!
