Noramix Group Norway joins hands with MJFCF to strengthen education for Plantation students
Consequent to the formal launch of special English & Maths education project for 25 schools in Talawakelle at the Holyrood Primary School opening, the project was formally inaugurated at the Kotagala Tamil Maha Vidyalaya in Kotagala on the 24th of May. Principals of all 25 schools, the Maths and English Teachers of the respective schools were present at the inauguration chaired by the Additional Zonal Director of Education. The objectives, the methodology and the expected outcomes of the project were clearly outlined to all school Principals and Teachers and all attendees whilst appreciating the initiatives taken by MJFCF to improve the achievements levels in Maths and English at the GCE O/L exam, assured their fullest commitment towards achieving the expected outcomes.
The 1st model exam in Maths and English for nearly 1050 GCE O/L students will be held on 25th and 26th May respectively in all 25 schools. MJFCF handed over the printed test papers to the Principals of all schools. Similar exams will be held every month till November – thus preparing the students suitably to face the GCE O/L exam in December. In addition nearly 6000 students in Grades 6 – 10 will face a mid year achievement test in June in English and Maths.
Nearly 90% of the student population in the 25 schools in this programme are children of Tea Plantation workers in Talawakelle, Dimbula and Kotagala areas.
This special education improvement project is a joint venture between MJFCF and Noramix Group of Norway.
