Seeking to enlist the membership of each Mathematics and Science teacher, the Guyana Mathematics and Science Association was launched Wednesday evening at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development.The Association represents an off-shoot of a Caribbean Academy of Sciences (CAS) workshop which sought to amplify the importance of mathematics and science in the classroom and by extension the society.Navin ChandarpalThe workshop, which was held under the theme “Hazard Mitigation: Protecting Caribbean Infrastructure – Securing Caribbean Communities, “saw the participation of some 25 local science and mathematics teachers, along with three from Trinidad and two from St Lucia. The course started on Monday and concluded Wednesday.All of the local teachers were on Wednesday registered as members of the Association, which was officially launched by Presidential Adviser on Sustainable Development, Navin Chandarpal.In brief remarks to the gathering, Chandarpal insisted that the commencement of the Association should never lose momentum, even as he challenged the members to take-up passionately the pioneering task ahead of them.  He pointed out that while every science and mathematics teacher could not have been a part of the workshop, efforts must be made to ensure that all such teachers in Guyana become the ultimate target of the Association. “How we do it would depend a lot on the ways that we identify and the structures that we identify, and therefore in developing those, we must seek to be as efficient as possible and to have the farthest reach in a way that will bring into the fold the large majority of the maths and science teachers in our country,” Chandarpal advised.He cautioned the members to be aware of the fact that many times, associations,Jerseys China Wholesale, organisations and many types of groupings after strong beginnings could fade away “if we do not seek to maintain for the organisation the ways of doing business and going about our membership. If we do not seek to capture those people who we want to be working with…and if we do not keep their (members) involvement to a maximum, we could very well end up like some of the many other groupings.”Chandarpal urged the new members to “begin with a drive, objective and intention to be a part of an organisation that every science and maths teacher in Guyana would want to be a part of, for a long time to come”.“This should be a nice home that they should feel comfortable in and would want to contribute to its growth and development,” the Presidential Adviser added.He commended the CAS officials, whom he recognised as instrumental in supporting the spawning of the new Association, even as he lobbied for continued involvement and support in whatever way possible.According to Chandarpal, Guyana is known to have contributed to science and mathematics teaching in all parts of the Caribbean over the years and “we hope that we can also benefit from some levels of involvements of our Diaspora in the area of science and mathematics also.”
