Sunday Kayode: Maths Should Be Taught In Nigerian Languages by Lukgaf(m): 5:22am On Jan 01, 2022 |
Without doubts, you'd agree with me that many students preparing for STEM subjects at O'level and undergrad really found it challenging. One of the reasons is the way mathematics some of this topics are being taught. Another challenge is the use of complex terms to explain the concept. I still recall my experiences at High School ![]() I think I agree with this FUTA Professor, I think all science subjects we ran away from should be taught and explained in our mother's tongue. What do you think guys? A Professor of Mathematics, Sunday Kayode, has made a case for the use of Nigerian languages in the teaching of mathematics as one of the strategies for demystifying the subject and enhancing its study among students at all levels of the country’s education system. https://tribuneonlineng.com/futa-don-recommends-use-of-nigerian-languages-in-teaching-of-mathematics/ 21 Likes

My quick research also shows that this effort is even ongoing on Nairaland. There is a thread on Education section called "Learn O'level And Undergrad Mathematics In Yoruba" where various STEM topics taught in some of these Nigeria languages such as Yoruba are being uploaded.

i dont agree,we have so many tribes to even start that. alot of confusion will happen. There are states with morethan 59 ethnic groups..English Language moderates alot of things in Nigeria.. National assemblies for instance,which tribe will be spoken there? no one will agree to speak others tribe, even if he agrees,he cant understand. the same thing will happen if we are taught in our tribes. There are some groups will less popularity and can hardly understand the majority tribes 41 Likes 3 Shares |

Hisbah21: Well I think each region can choose their major languages e.g Northern can choose Hausa, South West Yoruba and South East, Igbo. Those concepts can just be explained in these languages without changing the English terms. You see what I mean Sir? 30 Likes 5 Shares |

Lukgaf:Prof Afolayan in 1978 recommended that mother tonques should be used to teach Maths and many subjects in primary and secondary schools. How many schools accepted the. recommendations? The prof in this report will not let his children speak English at home.as it applies to many other educated Nigerians. Until we change our attitude to our mother tonques Nigeriann indigenous languages will soon go into extinction. 1 Like |
