Mathematics Trainers’ Guild (MTG)

The Mathematics Trainers’ Guild (MTG) is a non-stock, non-profit organization of mathematics teachers committed to develop and promote excellence in Mathematics education and training in the Philippines. It was organized in 1995 by a group of teachers who are all mathematics trainers in their respective schools.  It began with a movement called the Mathematical Challenge for Filipino Kids Training Program headed by Dr. Simon L. Chua and Prof. Rechilda P. Villame MTG’s president and external vice-president respectively.

Originally, MTG members were teachers of private schools in Metro Manila only, but through annual seminars, workshops and training membership grew in number.  Now on its tenth, MTG has almost 1000 members nationwide, from as far as Lesgaspi City, Cagayan de Oro City, Iloilo, Davao and Zamboanga City.  Future recruitment will be opened for public schools teachers.

MTG institutionalizes excellence in mathematics education and training in the Philippines to upgrade the discipline to meet international standards and to provide the basis for scientific and technological manpower needed for the country’s education, modernization and industrialization by the year 2005.
