some of Mumbai's leading schools like Wonder Years, Tardeo,
Bombay Scottish, Powai, Beacon High School, Khar, and

Tham Chee Nang, founder of SIP Academy Malaysia and co-founder
of World Abacus Association spoke about AMAL, his brainchild
after the successful implementation of the Abacus and
Brain Gym programme for elder children. He said, "A
country's potential is the sum of its citizens' brain
potential. Hence the progress of a nation is only possible
through the progress of the children in the country by
developing their skills. SIP India's new product, AMAL,
is a proven programme in Malaysia."
AMAL
aims to introduce process-oriented learning to children.
It is a fun-learning programme for four-and-a-half to
six-year old children.
Speaking
on the occasion Dinesh Victor, MD, SIP India, said, "Our
company's vision is to create and distribute world class
products and programmes which make a significant impact
on the mental potential of individuals. And AMAL takes
us forward as a programme for the young children, the
right time to inculcate the right values. The features
developed by this programme will form a good foundation
to widen their arena through SIP Abacus and Brain Gym
programme for six to 12 years."
Some
of the teaching aids used in the programme are, the abacus
to remove numeric phobia, Brain Gym to develop and integrate
the functions of left and right brain, colour games to
improve creativity, imagination and to calm the mind,
creative games to develop analytical and imaginative abilities,
