Mercyland Pacific School, in collaboration with the Africa Mathematics Project, proudly hosted the 2025 Mathematics Ambassadors’ Day.
The event, a 30-minute ceremony at the school’s assembly ground, honoured students shortlisted for the prestigious Mathematics Ambassadorial Awards.
The occasion was filled with pride and excitement as students, educators, and families gathered for the 2025 Mathematics Ambassadors’ Day.
The ceremony, which celebrated students who had shown exceptional aptitude and commitment to mathematics was organized by Africa Mathematics Project as part of its ongoing mission to spotlight young African talent and encourage the pursuit of excellence in STEM education.
Speaking at the event, Florence Asibea Moses, Vice President and Director of Strategic Communications for the project, praised the dedication of both learners and their support systems, saying “Today’s ceremony is a reminder of what is possible when we invest in our children’s potential.
“We are not only celebrating achievement but nurturing a future where mathematics drives innovation across Africa.” Florence concluded.
Parents and guardians joined the learners to receive the awards alongside the Project Representative, Mr. Godson, ensuring full participation and engagement from all families involved.
The Mathematics Ambassadorial Awards are designed to motivate and reward young learners, while fostering a supportive community of parents, schools, and educators dedicated to academic excellence.
The impact of today’s event will be felt far beyond the ceremony — in classrooms, communities, and the bright futures of these young mathematicians, according to her.
The school director Mrs Oreoluwa Asu who also received a mathematics mentor award also commended the dedication of the parents which is a testament to the community’s commitment to education and excellence.
“We hope today’s recognition ignites a lifelong passion for mathematics and numeracy. The sky is only the starting point!”
