The article concerning "100math" was inserted in yesterday's "Daily Post" that is the most major newspaper in Vanuatu. I started to provide some articles and photos to "Daily Post" this month. I sent them three times and every article was placed. The purpose of providing them is to increase people's interest in education, especially school education. I'm going to continue this activity. Also, it was the second time to be inserted the picture of me. It seems to me that I'm kind of a famous person just in Port Vila.
However the headline, "Penama leads in '100math' Test," was different from what I wanted to report to people. What I wanted to transmit was that the result of tha Basic Operation Test wasn't very good but we can hope student's development in basic calculation if they continue "100math" practice. Actually, Penama province was the top province in the result of this test, but the number of schools that took this test was different in each province. For instance, 13 schools in Penama province took it, meanwhile the number of Tafea province was 59. It's unfair. I thought that I have to tell media about my intention in providing my information.

is there more than one major newspaper?
I started to submit some articles and photos to the "Daily Post" this month.
Each of the three articles I've submitted were published.

The purpose of providing them is to increase people's interest in education, especially classroom education.
Also, it was the second time they've included a picture of me.

What I wanted to relay was that the results of the Basic Operation Test weren't very good but we can hope student's development in basic calculation will increase if they continue practicing "100math"
They probably wanted to give it more of a positive spin, rather than focusing on the poor grades. Especially at the start I think it's important to provide as much praise as possible.
Actually, Penama province had the highest test results, but the number of schools that took this test was different in each province.
For instance, 13 schools in Penama province took it, meanwhile there were 59 in Tafea province.
I think that I have to tell the media about my intentions when I provide my information.
At the end of the day, the media will publish whatever they think will (in this case) sell papers. It is often the case the the true intentions of the person who submits information are not always relayed to the public in the same manner they were received. I think as along as you get people talking about schools and 100Math you have achieved your goal.
