Science education is of paramount importance to a better socio-economy. The curriculumthat conveys the teaching and learning of science is supposed to reflect on the students.Science education builds on prior existing knowledge of students. However, many African theorists feel that science education is entirely based on "western" ideas. The values and the norms of the "African" or "Nonwestern"
students are basically neglected or come into contradiction with that
of science.
