Now on YouTube! Perspectives on Geoscience Education in Africa
The webinar “Perspectives of Geoscience Education in Africa”, given by Dr. Gbenga Okunlola (President, Geological Society of Africa) is now on YouTube!
In this lecture, Dr. Okunlola outlines challenges and opportunities for geoscience education in the African continent, including the limited connection between geoscience education opportunities and natural resource abundance (or “endowment”) and the implementation of “elastic curricula” in tertiary education, which focuses on teaching traditional geoscience knowledge combined with relevant career paths.
Dr. Okunlola also discussed his Geoscience Awareness Survey distributed to people across multiple ages and industries in Nigeria and finished his lecture by stressing that focused collaborations between organizations like GSAf and COGE can lead to success for geoscience education in Africa!!
