The chief guest Indian Deputy High Commissioner Arindam Bagchi, speaking on the event said his favorite subject was maths. Most of his friends had been surprised that the most difficult subject was his favorite subject. Now if he asked the SIP abacus students what their favorite subject is, the answer would maths.
“It is a great effort by SIP Academy to introduce this program since many children who follow the program would name their favorite subject as maths,” he said.
Guest of Honor Alethea International School Chairperson Kumari Hapugalle Perera said that children have many avenues open for them to excel in their chosen career.
Speaking on the event SIP Academy Lanka Ltd MD Dinesh Victor said that the students were tested on their concentration, confidence, intelligence, speed and accuracy. It is heart warming to see the competitive spirit amongst these children and their self-confidence.
