Online discussion 2003

Dear Colleagues

THE AFRICA-AMERICA INSTITUTE (AAI) - AFRICAN PERSPECTIVES 2003 OF 
MATH AND SCIENCE EDUCATION IN AFRICA - ONLINE DISCUSSION BRIEF

The Africa America Institute would like to invite you to participate 
in the African Perspectives online discussion forum from May 1 - May 
28 2003. We will be exploring the theme: "How can African education 
systems best teach Math & Science today and at the same time increase 
enrolment and participation by girls in school in these and other 
subjects?"

This session will also be part of the Africa America Institutes Afri-
can Perspectives Online discussion series and will be the fifth ses-
sion of the series. It follows on from the most recent and very suc-
cessful discussion on "How are African Universities responding to the 
HIV/AIDS Pandemic?" 

Previous online discussions, have involved 53 alumni from 26 African 
countries, focused on topics including African Perspectives on devel-
opment and technology, "US and Western Responses to HIV/AIDS in Af-
rica", and most recently "Workforce Development in Africa". The dis-
cussions are part of a larger African Perspectives project that also 
involves live discussions with Africans in Africa and abroad. 

Please visit AAI's website at:

to view past discussions The African Perspectives Project forums part 
of our continuing effort to reach out to and engage AAI alumni and 
supporters in the United States and Africa in dialogue about the im-
portant issues of US-Africa relations. We believe you will find the 
online discussion a valuable way to share your experiences, observa-
tions and opinions and to learn about those of other Africans. You 
will be able to participate entirely via e-mail, but will also be 
able to access message archives and other special features online 
through the discussion web page:
