AAAS Will Provide Science Curriculum Resources to Support Rwandan Education Plan

High-level AAAS officials on a fact-finding trip to Rwanda pledged that the association would provide science education resources to support the Central African nation as it pursues an ambitious long-term education and development plan.

After returning from the two-day visit, the AAAS officials expressed admiration for Rwanda's effort to recover from its 1994 genocide by using science and technology to improve the economy, education, and the lives of its people. The meetings further strengthened a relationship that has included a visit to Rwanda last year by AAAS President (and now Board Chairman) David Baltimore and an address by Rwandan President Paul Kagame to the AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston last February.
