THE PETITION
An all-new Bharatiya Maths curriculum has been offered to India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan designed for children ranging from Anganwadi to Class 5. Backing the move, 9417 people signed a petition urging Dharmendra Pradhan to pilot the new system of maths education called Podometic™ Bharatiya Maths (PBM).

WHAT’S IT FOR?
Based on research spanning 16 languages, PBM is the world’s first total ground-up Arithmetic update. What that all means to Indian educators, schools and parents is the fact that Western Arithmetic as taught for the past 500 years since 1522 is now obsolete!

Podometic™ Bharatiya Maths is simply better, having been rebuilt from India’s original idea of zero, which never made its way to Europe.

YEARS FASTER
Lessons mathematics teachers find difficult to teach, having to rely on abstract laws and rules, can now be totally understood visually, intuitively and logically by children several years younger for the first time in history.

ZERO COST

THE NEXT STEP?
Having met Jonathan J. Crabtree at the Indian Consulate General in Melbourne Australia and received the above letter along with 189 pages of petition signatures, Dharmendra Pradhan said he would be following the opportunity up.

Crabtree is confident the Minister will follow up. (Others are not so sure.)
