SMASE Africa stands for Strengthening of Mathematics and Science Education in Africa. This is a network that brings together 35 African countries and provides a platform where members exchange and dialogue about science and mathematics education programmes, policies and practices. The aim is to have members learn transferrable lessons from each other during regional conferences, technical workshops and exchange visits and teacher professional development programmes. Lessons learnt from these activities are expected to be replicated in member countries. We encourage you to navigate the website and learn more.
