Changing these bad perceptions is crucial!

The bad perceptions about the state of our science education: We have to change it! Here are four articles dealing with the perceptions:

  • South Africa finishes last in WEF’s 2016 mathematics and science education ranking (7 July 2016)
  • South African mathematics, science education ranked worst in the world (15 April 2015)
  • South Africa stone last in Mathematics, Science education ranking (3 September 2014)
  • Truth about SA’s mathematics, science education quality (5 June 2014)
