The Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic (UCMAS) has organized a congratulatory ceremony for successful pupils who participated in the 2019 UCMAS World Competition.
The 24th UCMAS World Championship was held from December 6 to December 7 in Cambodia. The competition saw four Ghanaian pupils emerged as part of the overall best 12 winners.
The four champions were; Daniel Yaw Ankomah Mensah, Suhani Kothari, Ishmael Hector Nii Nortei Morton, and Cena Awontirim.
Mr Girish Gurbani, Director of UCMAS West Africa, giving the background of UCMAS, said, UCMAS was a subsidiary of UCMAS Educational Group in Malaysia and has been in Ghana since September 2007
He said the inspiration to establish UCMAS in Ghana came after he and his wife visited the country and realized the need to develop the arithmetical competences of Ghanaian school children.
Mr Roger Ohemeng, Chief Executive Officer of UCMAS Ghana, said UCMAS has partnered more than 700 basic schools in the competition in the country.
He charged parents to invest in their children and cited UCMAS as very good grounds to invest in.
Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Pre-Tertiary Education encouraged schools across the country to enrol in the UCMAS program, this he believes will drive away from the mathematics phobia among pupils.
Universal concept Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS), is a company in Ghana that deals in the training and development of the brain of children between four to fourteen years, to help them develop their listening skills, memory retention, and concentration abilities
