Suken Application Form

February 15, 2010

Dear Sir/Madam:

We are pleased to let you know that the Japan Global Mathematics Association has given us access to their mathematics certification program. In this connection, we have also opened this opportunity to allow schools to certify their teachers at a certain level of mathematics proficiency. Part of our global vision in APSA is to have teachers in schools have a mathematics certification at a proficiency level that is recognized internationally.

The levels of proficiency range from Level 8, which is the 1st step level and goes up to Level 1, the highest level which is equivalent to doctoral or graduate level in Mathematics proficiency. The test usually takes 2 hours to finish and is made up of 2 parts. Part 1 is the calculation portion and Part 2 is the application portion. Both tests should be taken in one sitting, although a short break is given between the 1st and 2nd portion of the test.

We are planning to give the test on May 6, 2010 at JSU-AMOSUP Mariners’ Home, Nakpil St. Manila. We will need the names of the teachers who will take the test and the level they will take. Please take note that once the names are submitted or the intention is signified, the required fee will be assessed whether or not you will eventually take the test. The fee for the Suken test is ₱300.00 from level 3 to level 8, ₱400.00 level Pre-2 to level 2 and ₱500.00 from Pre 1 to level 1.

Only those on the list will be able to take the test as their names will be submitted to the head office in Japan and the test booklets will then be prepared and subsequently, the certificates, upon passing the test, will also come from Japan. Deadline for submission of registration and payment will be on April 6, 2010.

To this end, we hope you will communicate with us at the soonest possible time so that we can send the list to Japan. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to call Nette,Teng,Rolly or Meanne at +63 2 5257277 or +63 2 5271901 or email to apsa1281@yahoo.com

Thank you for sharing with APSA the vision for improving the standards for mathematics achievement in our country.

Very truly yours,
