Professor Emeritus Peter Okebukola, former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), has unveiled a fresh method of teaching to boost Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in Africa and beyond.
The new style, called the Model-And-Surpass Pedagogy (MSP), was introduced at the 2025 International Conference of the International Research Group, co-hosted with the Commonwealth Association of Science, Technology and Mathematics Educators. The conference, which ended on September 18, brought together participants from the US, UK, Finland, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and other nations.
Okebukola, who in 1992 became the first African to win UNESCO’s Kalinga Prize for Science Communication, said MSP is designed to help students learn by copying excellence and then striving to do even better. The programme’s approach focuses on building creativity, innovation, and critical thinking among learners.
Experts at the event hailed the initiative as a timely boost to STEM learning and a strong step toward preparing African youths for a technology-driven future.
