Jamshedpur, March 30: Mathematics will soon cease to be a phobia for students. On the contrary, it may become the buzzword for students of the steel city.

A team of 13 mathematics teachers from the Teachers International Professional Development (TIPD), London, is slated to visit the city to conduct interactive sessions with city teachers from April 4 to 12.

This is a result of a joint venture between the British Council and the Association of British Scholars.

TIPD, based at Bromley in London, has created a network of schools, teachers and local education authorities in England, to analyse and introduce models of good teaching practices in teaching communities across the world.

Apparently, their teaching methods can break the ice even with the most “impossible” students.

The TIPD classroom methods, if implemented in the Indian education system, are likely to make studies much easier to grasp and less painful to bear with.

“It will be a two-way interaction. The visiting members will be introduced to the Indian system of education, while we will learn their interactive methods of teaching the dreaded subject,” said Anita Gupta, secretary of the city chapter.
