Current Challenges and Future Trends in Chemistry Education Research

ACRICE is a conference that tackles challenges on teaching chemistry in Africa. It provides an excellent platform for educators, researchers, and practitioners to share insights, discuss innovative approaches, and address challenges in teaching and learning chemistry as well as other disciplines and education in general.

Among the three pillars of sustainability –social, economic and environmental– the latter bears and impacts significantly on the other two towards the achievement of a sustainable environment for posterity. The environment has an influence on social structures and natural resources, such that the effect of chemicals on mining, water bodies, climate change and life on earth cannot be disputed. The conference is expected to clearly draw the relationships among these three pillars and make chemists more responsible with the manufacture and application of chemicals in everyday life activities, education and industries. It is hoped that this conference will set the tone for more responsible use of chemicals in the manufacture of traditional and innovative products. It is also expected that the conference will highlight sustainable chemistry education and advance the importance of information and communications technology (or technologies) (ICT) in chemistry.
