The Teacher Who Helps Students Overcome Their Maths Phobia | Evans Odei | Ghana

Evans Odei, a Top 10 finalist for the Global Teacher Prize 2021, teaches at Achimota Senior High in Greater Accra.

He has built up a country-wide reputation for his dedication to help at-risk students overcome their phobia of mathematics and to turn away from truancy.

Evans set up a free ‘Maths Clinic’ to help students with a phobia of learning Maths. He counselled students who clashed with school rules and regulations, helping them build their confidence and self-esteem, whilst reducing conflict in the school community.

This change in student perception and participation led to a marked reduction in truancy, an improvement in test results, and his high school becoming one of 16 in Ghana to participate in an international STEM challenge with overseas schools.
