The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Japan Oil Development Co. Ltd. (JODCO) and the Kumon Institute of Education (KIE) to pilot the highly successful Kumon Method of learning mathematics in two Adnoc Schools in Abu Dhabi.
The world-renowned Kumon method was pioneered in Japan and guides the instruction of mathematics and other disciplines for students ranging from kindergarten to high school. It also helps students to build study habits, concentration and a strong understanding of fundamental topics. Individual learning plans are created for the students, and, as a student progresses, teachers plan for students to study at a level that motivates them. To date, the Kumon method is practiced in 50 countries around the world.
The programme, in its pilot phase, will benefit an estimated 500 Grade 1 students in Adnoc Schools in the Academic Year 2018/2019, which began in September 2018.
