This May, the CEMC and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Ghana (AIMS) hosted the Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics Conference (HTTMC).
The HTTMC, held at the University of Ghana, provided support training and professional development in the mathematical sciences for high school teachers across Africa. The conference gives teachers the opportunity to deepen their understanding of key mathematical concepts in the high school curriculum, while also exploring practical and engaging ways to teach them.
Thank you to PAIR, the PanAfrican Initiative of Research for their support to the 2026 HTTMC.
