Description:

PAFSE will contribute to community preparedness to reduce the risk of communicable disease and epidemics. It will do so by establishing partnerships between schools, universities, non-formal education providers, enterprises and civil society organisations and engaging them in efforts to enrich Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education to include public health issues, an understanding of microbes and the value of disease prevention measures in protecting communities. Novel educational provisions engage students aged 12-15 in public discourse events, and a blend of formal and informal activities using digital tools and online teaching-learning environments to develop their competence on project management and collection/analysis/making sense of scientific evidence. The project is innovative in that it makes use of project-based learning and digital learning packages to engage a wide range of actors in addressing public health challenges through in open schooling framework. It will involve more than 3000 students and their families in the project activities. The outcomes will be disseminated to more than 1000 schools.
