Learners from Homa Bay Primary and Junior Secondary School have benefited from sciences and mathematics instruction outreach, conducted by the Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA).
The organization's National Trainer, Richard Jakomanyo, said that the outreach program was aimed at equipping grade nine learners with practical skills in biology, chemistry physics and mathematics as they prepare for the transition to the senior secondary.
Jakomanyo said that theScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pathway should be strengthened to equip learners with skills relevant to the job market and enhance the country's socioeconomic development.
He noted that there was a need to commit more resources to equipping laboratories in Junior Secondary schools to enable the learners to receive adequate exposure to practical skills.
