Poor Enrollment Ratio of Students in Mathematics

Abstract

The attitude of learning mathematics underpins some psychological parameters which includes anxiety, fear, stress, motivation etc. It is believed that the fear of learning mathematics is so deeply embedded that it creates apprehension and anxiety. We present the reasons behind the critical fall of enrollment and the massive surge in drop out of students studying mathematics. Also, we recommend various ways to remove the bottlenecks in learning and ways to improve the enrollment in secondary schools.
