Description

Economists, scientists, and educators worldwide agree that science and technology education is a prerequisite for modernisation and economic development. Yet, although it is an integral part of curricula throughout sub-Saharan Africa, a more-than-rudimentary grasp of science and technology lies beyond the reach of most African Science and Technology Education, a compendium of papers by leading African and international educators, asks with compelling urgency, "With the millennium almost upon us, can science and technology education meet the challenges of the coming century?" This text provides a template for relevance, access, redress, equity and quality in science and technology education. It does so by integrating farsighted analyses and leading-edge theory with contemporary realities and grassroots experience.
