Since 2020, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology through Malawi Institute of Education has been implementing a national reform to strengthen the teaching of Mathematics in Standards 1 to 4, with financial and technical support from the UK Government through FCDO.
New Mathematics books have been produced and distributed to 6,000 public primary schools, and over 55,000 teachers from both public and private schools have been trained to implement the revised Mathematics Curricula. The Initial Primary Teacher Education Mathematics Curriculum has also been updated to support long term impact.
Efforts by MIE are underway to make Mathematics textbooks affordable and accessible to private schools ensuring quality learning for every child.
