Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], June 13: The five-year Mathematics and Science
Curriculum Enhancement Project, a collaboration between the Singapore
International Foundation (SIF) and Parikrma Humanity Foundation, had a
significant impact on education in Bangalore.

Led by Singapore International Volunteers (SIVs) from the education sector, the
project aimed to enhance the Mathematics and Science curriculum in Bangalore.
The SIVs trained about 160 Indian educators through workshops, equipping them
with new skills to create more engaging lessons for their students.
A core group of 46 Indian educators were selected as Master Trainers, who
subsequently trained other teachers in their communities. Collectively, about
58,700 educators and students in Karnataka benefitted from this collaboration,
ensuring improved access to quality education for children in the community.
Earlier in June, the SIF conducted a project evaluation to measure and analyse
the impact of the project. Key findings included:
– Effective implementation of tools and everyday objects as teaching aids
The educators are now well-versed in using educational tools and everyday
objects to better aid their students’ understanding of abstract concepts.
Examples included using a tangram set to form triangles in mathematics lessons
and using real flowers to introduce plant parts in science lessons.
– Greater focus on process skills
The focus of teaching in schools has shifted to hone how students arrive at
their answers instead of the memorisation of facts. This is supported by lessons
planned based on the 5E Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, Evaluate), and
complemented by science experiments and outdoor activities. These approaches
engaged students more effectively and encouraged greater inquisitiveness in
them.
– Improved development of critical thinking skills
Beyond finding the right answers, students are guided to explore and analyse
different solutions to each problem to develop critical thinking skills.
– Enhanced activity-based learning in groups
Where passive learning in silos was the norm previously, students are now
engaged through learning in groups. Through group discussions, students practice
communication, collaboration and reasoning skills, and collective
decision-making, which are core 21st-century competencies.
At the project’s closing ceremony on 5 June, Mr Edgar Pang, Consul-General of
the Republic of Singapore in Chennai, said: “This project between the SIF and
Parikrma Humanity Foundation is a great example of how lives can be improved
when people come together and join hands. I look forward to more of such
collaborations between the peoples of Singapore and India across the various
sectors.”
Shukla Bose, Founder-CEO, Parikrma Humanity Foundation said: “We are pleased to
have worked with the SIF on this initiative. The training-of-trainers approach
has ensured that the benefits to our teachers and students will extend well
beyond the project. The approach has certainly moved the needle in raising
teaching standards here.”
Dr Prem Mario, Principal at Parikrma Junior College said: “We learnt to use
objects found in everyday life as interactive props to facilitate mathematics
lessons, alongside other teaching techniques like mind-mapping and storytelling.
After incorporating them in our classes, our students have been able to
understand new concepts better and are more engaged during lessons now.”
He added: “The Singapore volunteers have been very warm and approachable every
time we met. Despite travel restrictions during the recent pandemic, we kept in
touch virtually and picked up like old friends when we reconnected in person.”
SIV team leader Peggy Foo, former lecturer at Singapore’s National Institute of
Early Childhood Development, said: “It was a humbling experience and a privilege
to share our insights with the teachers in Bangalore. Their eagerness to learn
has been very inspiring. This project has also challenged me to think about how
we can better bring the joy of learning to our students and encourage them to be
more inquisitive.”
The Mathematics and Science Curriculum Enhancement Project aligns with the
Karnataka state government’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goal
of ensuring inclusive and quality education for all, including increasing the
supply of qualified teachers by 2030 through international cooperation for
teacher training.
The initiative also marks a significant milestone for the SIF as it commemorates
28 years of their work in India. Over the years, the SIF has collaborated with
various partners from the government, corporate and non-government sectors, in
states like Maharashtra, New Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Through their
endeavours in education, healthcare, arts, environment, and livelihood, the SIF
fosters connections among people and communities, facilitating collaborations
that bring about positive change.
