I know Science and tech you’re talking about is different but they’ll serve the same purpose. when people have access to information, it is difficult for politians to take them for granted, look at Tunsia and Egypt

And that is ‘Frequent Power Outages’ that the author mentioned. It’s a big disincentive to any foreign company if they cannot be assure of regualr power supply

Africa and education? we can surely get there with action. professional lecturers not amateurs, good labs, and jobs after school. more equipments and funds.

I hope the author addresses this in future series. We have to have national science agenda, Ecowas sceicne agenda and a continental. Our leader must come togather to establish a system.

Again we cannot progress in science & tech by just reading 1960 text books with no lab work. We need an equal amount of time in the lab for equal amount of time spend in classroom. In my school in the UK, it is even more time in the lab, less in classroom

Science Technology and Innovation is still happening separately across Africa, we are still not having a system that works, so we need to start building national system of science technology and innovation. They have to work hand in hand and regionally integrated

I consider this perhaps the major problem. You reap what you sow. Some of the science teachers in high schools and even universities need some additional help to come to terms with current state of the art of science and how it affects every day life in order to teach students to appreciate that. And governments needs to adopt policies to attract and retain such resources

But it is becuase they made Sci/Tec thier priority. We can get there, but not by just hoping. Schools and curricula need to be reformed to make Sci/Teck a top priorty
