The Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) is mandated to enhance the capacity of mathematics and science teachers for effective curriculum delivery. Mathematics and science are the building blocks of technology and therefore CEMASTEA’s role is critical in helping the country to achieve Vision 2030 and the Big Four Agenda.

The training involves the use of two tier cascade system to effectively undertake INSET where Trainers of Trainers (ToT’s) are trained at the National Level and in turn train teachers in the counties. This year’s County INSET kicked off in20 counties country wide for a week.

The training is geared towards helping the teachers become better and more effective in teaching the learners. A lot of emphasis is on learner-centred activities that eventually help by opening up learners thinking

The theme of the training is ‘Effective Use of Learner Centered Strategies in Teaching and Learning’. The Learning outcomes of the training are:

By the end of the training, the teachers are expected to demonstrate:

  1. Understanding of the 21st Century skills and Competency Based Curriculum
  2. The right knowledge, skills, and attitudes in designing innovative learner-centred activities including Project based learning and ICT integration
  3. Ability to reduce HIV and AIDS stigma and discrimination.

In 2019, 1,100 County trainers were trained by CEMASTEA National trainers. The County trainers are expected to train 11,709 Mathematics and science teachers drawn from 47 counties during the April and August 2019 school holidays.

CEMASTEA is using a total of 46 training centers. A total of 6,219 teachers of mathematics and science are undergoing training in April 2019.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Model School Program was launched in 2016 to among other reasons: (a) to encourage more students to pursue STEM related career at tertiary level, (b) enhance students’ creativity, innovativeness, and (c) to grow community of problem solvers and critical thinkers. The main purpose is to narrow the gap between demand and supply of existing technical skills which are lacking and to ensure school grandaunts have desirable skills for the job market. 

The Centre for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) is the implementing institution, on behalf of the Ministry of Education, tasked to transform the102 selected public secondary school into model schools for STEM. Two secondary schools (94) in every county and one regional (8) were selected through based on their performance, locality and centrality in consultation with local stakeholders.

Mr. Stephen Njoroge, HSC Director CEMASTEA speaking to participants who are attending the Robotics Training at Kisumu Girls High School

STEM Model School Program has five keys aspects: making the school climate inviting by focusing on interrelationship or people, programs, policies, processes and physical environment or place; enhancing students’ creativity or innovativeness though creation of makerspaces and introduction of robotics; educating students for sustainability by involving them is school projects such production of food (i.e. farming, animal husbandry, etc.) as learning opportunity; incubating students’ innovation and supporting their patenting and scale up; and using innovative teaching and learning approaches such as Inquiry-based learning using the 5 E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Ellaborate & Evaluate) instructional model.
