A new UNESCO-backed workshop aims to address persistent challenges in mathematics education by examining classroom practices that may contribute to students’ self-perceptions of inadequacy in the subject. The initiative explores how teaching methods and instructional approaches can either reinforce or alleviate negative attitudes toward math, offering educators strategies to foster confidence and competence. Participants will discuss evidence-based techniques for creating more inclusive and effective learning environments. The focus reflects broader efforts to improve global math literacy by shifting away from traditional barriers in instruction.
