About the Event:
We invite you to join us on Sunday, March 7th in celebration of International Women’s Day to learn more about the SEGA Girls’ School's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) curriculum.
STEM education is particularly important for Tanzanian students, including SEGA students, for their future employment. The joblessness rate among people ages 15-24 in Tanzania is very high. Critics and employers say at the base of youth unemployment in Tanzania is a mismatch between teaching in the institutions of learning and the needs of the labor market. STEM education requires students to think deeply and critically and provides hands-on skills that are needed for employment.
