when it comes to science and maths education.
Are we still number 133
out of 142 countries
for the poor quality of teaching
mathematics science numeracy
literacy and primary school education
We who wait for a
National Science Week to make it real
affording politicians
the opportunity to showboat
Really really
new science laboratories
come our way courtesy
of UWC’s Science Learning Centre
for Africa – UWC-SLCA
for those into acronyms
Empowering and entrusting
the next generation
of scientists and technologists
Entrusting the future
to the next generation
after all, science takes you places
girls who wear pink can
become scientists too just
As our boys wear their blue
Really really
