A recent analysis by Third International Mathematics & Science Study (TIMSS) has brought into sharp focus the shortcomings in the contents and rigours of Science and Mathematics teaching in the primary and secondary school.
Moreover, India had not been participating in International Science
Olympiads which fact could provide a much needed spur to effective
teaching and learning. Although the inertia has been broken by the
participation in the 39th International Olympiad - 1998, held in Taiwan,
such events at the national level could provide a real impetus to better
assessment and exploitation of the potential of our students.
The SOF ended the status quo by constituting the annual National Science
Olympiad.
