Junior School teachers have been urged to embrace virtual laboratories to bridge STEM learning gaps created by inadequate laboratory facilities.
More than 100 Junior School teachers in Vihiga County completed a three-day training on the use of virtual laboratories, a move expected to enhance practical learning in schools with limited or inadequate science laboratory facilities.
The training, organised by the Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) at Bunyore Girls High School, equipped teachers with digital skills to integrate virtual laboratories into the teaching of Mathematics and Integrated Science under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum.
