Making the future of African STEM female
Without a huge investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, Africa will not achieve the goals the African Union has laid out in her 2063 agenda. Moreover, such revolutions can only happen for Africa if there is active participation in STEM at all levels of education—especially for girls.
