Contrary to what abacus is somewhat being overlooked in the present day’s mainstream school education nowadays, there is, however, an increasing need for abacus/mental arithmetic programs in the society.  In light of which, the association, keenly aware of the importance of educating prominent teaching faculty to rediscovering the dying heritage craft – the Abacus, has taken the lead in staging various short- and long-term abacus/mental arithmetic faculty seminar programs and teaching symposiums by retaining the leading experts and scholars to date to provide lectureship in a move to aggressively development abacus/mental arithmetic teaching faculty that could help to revive the abacus education.  Since it inception, the program has seen close to four hundred trainees successfully completing the program to foster not only critical acclaim from the abacus sector, but is highly regarded as a cradle for culminating local abacus teaching faculty.

To step up the sophistication of abacus teaching faculty in Taiwan, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce has staged abacus and mental arithmetic workshops, which have benefited over four hundred participants.

Depicted here is an association- sponsored teaching faculty workshop held at National Taichung Institute of Technology, where lecturer Lee Shang explains to the associates useful tips in managing development classes.

In search of bringing tips to avid abacus and mental arithmetic trainees, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce has specially arranged in the symposium an entrant-training program, aimed at bringing the entrants to better understand important tips.

Though not easy to manage successful development workshops, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce utilizes the opportunity of the teaching faculty symposium, with the support of lecturer Liao Cheng-hui, to call on a mental arithmetic class as part of the field study program.

In search of promoting the IQ enhancement that abacus computing has to offer, and to step up the exchange of Taiwan’s abacus sector, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce has specially staged island-wide roaming tour of abacus teaching symposiums; depicted here is a session held in Taipei.

The roaming tour of abacus and mental arithmetic teaching symposiums of Taiwan Chamber of Commerce held across Taipei, Changhwa and Kaohsiung have drawn over 300 participants across Taiwan with popular response; depicted is a session held in Changhwa.
