Dr. A MBA graduate from Thomas Joseph, Utaipur and his daughter IIM Kozhikode is the task of helping students with MyLQ, a free learning program for economically disadvantaged children.
Ms. Ottaplackkal developed MyLQ in 2022 based on the joint acceptance test (CAT) training. “We found that arithmetic skills are the key to breaking competitive exams like cats,” he said.
As a result, he launched MyLQ, an online tool to help students dominate the necessary arithmetic skills in schools and competitive exams. Dr Joseph joined him and helped to start programs in India. This year they decided to double their efforts in Kozhikode. After meeting with Mayor Philip and Krishna Kumari, the hearing of MYLQ of the Town Planning Permanent Committee Chairman of the Town Planning Committee was launched in February.
Three schools from Ms. Krishna Kumari’s Naduvattam Department attended the hearing. Naduvattam Assembly Member, the program is cost -effective for public schools and a pleasant surprise from the reception, he said. “As it resembled a mobile game, the students got a lot of admire and their speeds healed.” He said.
Sidharth K., Govinda Vilas Class V Class student, helped the Lower Primary School, said he liked the Arithmetic program. “I can solve problems faster now,” he said. Classmate Safdar Hegal MK, “Now, I can make approximately 15 additional amounts in 10 minutes,” he accepted. Both students said they could not find boring practice. Ms. Krishnakumari said that the progress would receive feedback from teachers in July to see how progress has turned into classes.
The trial work consisted of a total of 11 schools under Kozhikode Municipality company and recorded an average of 211% improvement among 1,775 users. Dr. Joseph hoped that public schools would adopt MyLQs for the arsenal of teaching tools. “Our goal is 100% numerical, Dr Dr Joseph said. The duo hopes to implement MyLQ at more schools as part of the projects called ‘Ganitha Nagaram’ (Arithmetic City) in the coming years.
