Helping South Africa in science

Sivuyile Manxoyi works every day to reach his high school students in Cape Town, South Africa and teach them astronomy – a course previously denied to non-whites.

….Manxoyi and six other South African high school educators were part of a special international program on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, coordinated by UW geneticist Raymond Kessel, which aims to bring science and math education to non-white children who formerly had been systematically denied it.
