Short Communication: Science needs Africa as much as Africa needs science: A case in Tanzania

From 2003 until 2012 we visited several secondary schools around Moshi (Tanzania) and Mwenge University College of Education near Moshi, a teacher college which was founded in 2001. During our visits we found that the schools and the college were lacking of material for conducting experiments in an appropriate way, and teachers as well as lecturers were not well trained to conduct chemistry experiments. We recommend measures to improve the quality of science education at schools and colleges as presented in this paper. [AJCE, 3(1), January 2013]
