Congratulations are in order for a dedicated Ministry of Science and Technology in Zambia. A step in the right direction.
Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) schools- a few have have been rolled out but not good enough.
Today, the technological advancement is rapid. Zambia should invest in its own people to fight disease,combat climate change, create new industries, secure food security among others.
The Science agenda should be practical to solve social economics challenges.
The Ministry of Science and Technology cannot do it alone.
Time is Now…Create a dedicated UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY- 100% bursary for Science Champions regardless of their standing in society.
Make it simple to protect the innovations through PACRA(A lot more sensitisation is required here on Intellectual property)
Let us get back to the archives- bring to the fore innovations developed for current market needs new ideas are welcome.
