Maths & Science Olympiod - Certain Instructions

All the District Educational Ofcers& Ex-Ofcio Project Coordinators

and Additional Project Coordinators of Samagra Shiksha in the state are

informed that the science and technology is playing vital role in the

development of the country and it has transformed human life by new

innovations. Science education helps to promote logical and rationalistic

thinking. Scientifc attitude and temperament are to be inculcated among

students so as to enhance critical thinking and problem solving abilities

which will in turn sprout new ideas in young minds.

Further, they are informed that the platform should be established to

showcase the talent of the students. Maths & Science Olympiad /Science

fairs/Science exhibitions provide ample opportunity to students to develop

their scientifc/technological/social skills. Apart from the scientifc attitude

it provides great opportunity to share their opinions, experiences, views

and thoughts so as to improve their cooperative skills, managerial skills

and skills of leadership. The Maths Science Olympiads in turn provide

'hands on' learning experiences which promote analytical skills and

observation skills to solve the problems encountered in daily routine. So

students enjoy learning science through such Olympiads to them

maximum potential. According to the National Council for Educational

Research and Training 'active learning is not employed often enough in

the classroom and its absence is seen as one of the key factors behind

kids losing interest in science and not performing to their potential'. Maths

and Science Olympiads bridge this gap in younger generation.

In this regard, to project the importance of Maths and Science

Olympiads and impact of science and technology in every day life, as part

of STEM - Samgra Shiksha , Andhra Pradesh has decided to conduct State

level Maths & Science Olympiad by inviting innovative experimental

projects from the students, classes from 6th to 10 th of all schools .
