Live Correspondent: Poster fair and Certificate Awarding Ceremony on ‘Inquiry Based Learning to Promote Science Education’ was held at United International University in the capital on Sunday afternoon.

Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) organised the event supported by US State Department. A Senior Biology teacher of BAF Shaheen English Medium School (SEMS), Ms Lizoon Nahar  implemented the project under the banner of Global Educators Initiative for Sustainable Transformation [GEIST] International Foundation.

Five renowned schools of the capital including – Mapple Leaf International School, Tejgaw Government Girls High School, BAF Shaheen College and, BAF Shaheen English Medium School, Dhaka joined the event.   

Cultural Affairs Officer, U.S. Embassy, Isabelle Zsoldos attended the event as chief guest while  Chief News Editor,  Independent Television ,  Ashish Ghosh Saika was present as special guest with Vice Chancellor of the United International University, Mr. Mofizur Rahman Chowdhury  in the chair.

Speakers said that students of school and colleges are losing interest towards science education on a constant basis. They feel discouraged as the classes are not interactive and engaging.

Lack of sufficient tools, equipment and trained teachers are responsible for this. Science education is to learn more practically, not only just going through books. So, science classes demand more interactive and engaging.

The chief guest in her speech said that science education becomes fun to learn when there is an urgency or necessity to inquire about its various aspects. We need to develop the inquiry-based learning curiosity among the students.

Without inquiry-based learning it’s difficult to understand the significance of the learning. If the inquiry-based learning is applied students will be more enthusiastic towards science education.
