This can be confirmed by the many testimonials we receive from the proud UC MAS parents of our centres Jawahar Nagar and Tilak Nagar.
Q.My child always scores full marks in Mathematics. Is there a benefit of his learning the abacus ?
A. Absolutely! A student who has already demonstrated advanced abililty in mathematics will still benefit greatly from learning the Abacus method. UC MAS graduates learn new techniques and better understanding of how calculations works enabling them to do their work faster and more accurately
UC MAS gives them powerful knowlege to fight competition into secondary school and beyond.
