Mathematics undergraduate students of Unity Women’s College, Manjeri, set up a mathematics laboratory at Government Vocational Higher Secondary School, Agali, in Attappady. Hailing the students’ gesture, school authorities said that it should be a model for the entire State. About 50% of the students in the Attappady school are from different tribal communities.
N. Shamsuddeen, MLA, inaugurated the laboratory at a function held on Saturday.
The mathematics laboratory, meant for high school students, has a variety of charts, working models, and still models. Teachers said that the laboratory would ignite an interest in mathematics among students who were generally averse to that subject.
