Many people, upon hearing the name UCMAS, abacus, and numbers, immediately think of mathematics, calculations, etc., and don't consider any other options. They imagine that UCMAS and abacus calculation training are solely for strengthening math skills, while this is just a small part of it. The goal is not to nurture mathematicians. Math, calculations, and numbers are methods to achieve greater objectives.

UCMAS actualizes the potential capacities of the human mind and opens a new window towards human progress and excellence. In this system, every individual can excel in their specialized field and area of interest according to their taste and preference.

The mental calculation development plan using the abacus (UCMAS) is a unique program for children's growth that was invented by Dr. Dino Wong in Malaysia in 1993. Since the invention of UCMAS, more than 80 countries have joined the UCMAS Institute, and millions of children worldwide have benefited from this system's educational programs. These countries include Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Malaysia, India, Singapore, Russia, China, Turkey, Tunisia, Sudan, Sri Lanka, and others. This system has been so successful that some countries have incorporated it into their education system as an extracurricular skill.
The UCMAS International Academy is an active member of the Zhusuan Mental Arithmetic and Abacus Association and is the only mental development plan institute that has been registered in India's Limca Book of Records and the Malaysia Book of Records. This organization has also received the title of the best educational and entrepreneurial system from various international assemblies (Malaysia, Canada, and India) multiple times.
