Abstract

Though many efforts were made to overcome this, score of candidates of High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) and Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) Examinations under Mizoram Board of School Education (MBSE) showed that it is still the subject performed worst by the candidates in the Board examinations. The government and educational institutions including Mizoram University should plan for solving this issue in Mizoram. Research in Mathematics education should be given importance for the improvement of teaching and learning of mathematics. Adoption of ICT in Mathematics teaching and learning in a meaningful way may improve the performance of students in Mathematics subject in Mizoram.
