Today’s Daily Nation, a newspaper out of Kenya, highlighted the need to improve science performance in secondary schools. Strengthening of Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE) brings together teachers and experts to share experiences and help improve the classroom experience for science and math students.  Funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, SMASSE has worked with over 20,000 secondary school teachers using more than 150 resources and training centres throughout the country.

It is great to see the variety of efforts all over Africa in support of math and science education.  One more important step on the path to finding the Next Einstein.
