Private university students place greater emphasis on regular class attendance, good literacy skills, interactions, and attentiveness compared to their counterparts. Additionally, other success factors mentioned by private university students include imaginative ability, resource availability, conducive classroom ...
Given that achievement in learning mathematics at school correlates with work and social achievements, it is important to understand the cognitive processes underlying abilities to learn mathematics efficiently as well as reasons underlying the occurrenc
(Bellomo and Wertheimer2010), literacy (Bintz et al.2011) or social justice (Bond and Chernoff2015). Again, although a disciplinary structure remains clear in such cases, the potential exists to vary from being mathematically distinct and mono-disciplinary (e.g. providing motivation, concreteness ...
the lowest literacy rates were observed in sub-Saharan Africa, where the adult literacy rate for males is 71.6 and 53.6 % for females and in Northern Africa it is respectively 76.7 and 58.1 %. It should be highlighted that more than half of the adult population is still illiterate in the ...
Why is the mid-year exams difficult and many people fail it? Usually teachers will set the mid-year exams and the prelims at a (much) higher level than the actual O Levels. This is the current trend, which may result in many peoplefailing the mid-year exam. The idea may be to motiv...
Metzenberg looks at the California Science Standards, the National Science Education Standards, and the AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy. In his view the NSES and the Benchmarks have set a standard of achievement for students that is shockingly low, and related NSF funding is helping to ...
The range of mathematical expertise that adults need in the modern world, and thus the goals of high-quality curricula, has been summarized in various forms. PISA speaks of the components of “mathematical literacy” (OECD,2016) and the modeling process, while the Danish national curriculum talks...

In a similar fashion, the question of numeracy (which in many cases turns out to be much more complicated to evaluate than literacy) has recently gathered lots of interest (Danna 2021). A case in point is the introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals in Europe. The usual narrative correctly stat...
