We want to appeal to our GHAWA, uh, uh, uh, compatriots that when the government also reach out to you, have a loaf, they say, is better than none.

So if the government reach out to you, please listen to the government in good faith, and let's see how we can meet ourself halfway to ensure that we come back and get our academic calendar restored so that we don't go back to pre-COVID.[phone ringing] Uh, the, uh, wey eye open, you know, no eye dean of a year faculty of applied science and mathematics education, our University of Skills Training and Entrepreneur, uh, Development.

Uh, [phone ringing] Uh, the government has done so well just about to restore the, um, academic calendar.

But if care is not taken, the Gawa strike can distort the academic calendar the government has struggled to bring back.

Uh, Dr.

Keen is asking, "What happens to mathematical education if computation and AI handle more of the traditional problem-solving?" Well, I mean, we've, we've been down this road already.

You know, Mathematica came out in 1988.

Wolfram Alpha came out in 2009.

It's, it's a piece of, of, let's say, Wolfram language code that's intended to be read as the pieces of, of natural language text are intended to be read, but it's also something where it actually executes and you can see its consequences and you can explore what those consequences are.

So I think this kind of, uh, sort of, uh, you know, here's a general topic, write an interesting computational essay about it.

That's, that's, um, I think a part of the story of kind of what should be going on in kind of, uh, uh, the, the analog of mathematical education.

Another thing to say about mathematical education is mathematics, as I kept on saying, is kind of the-- it's the tallest, the biggest intellectual edifice that our civilization has built.
