Eagles of Tomorrow Education Society has its origins in an initiative to bridge systemic gaps in mathematics fundamentals among Aboriginal children in inner city schools in Vancouver, Canada.
Rahael Koshy Jalan, a mathematician by profession, was asked to help with issues that hindered math proficiency among Aboriginal students. Rahael’s efforts to provide a means for enabling Aboriginal students to succeed in Mathematics resulted in the creation of the books “The Language of Mathematics”.
Our first success was achieved in June 2009, when two students of Aboriginal ancestry successfully graduated from Britannia Secondary School, Vancouver, Canada with Principles Of Math 12… A FIRST at Britannia, where 30% of students are of Aboriginal ancestry. The program expanded to Templeton Secondary School and Windermere Secondary School in Vancouver.
