More African Universities now offer space science

African universities have made critical advancement in consolidating Space Science disciplines in their curricula, which can likewise be shown by the case of the University of Nairobi, Kenya now offering a Bachelor's degree program in Astronomy and Astrophysics, a workshop on stargazing was told in Kigali, Rwanda.

As indicated by members at the workshop, various different colleges in the area are at present creating comparable curricula, which can to a huge degree be credited to the effective systems administration and offering of ability between the nations. These practices demonstrate critically imperative for showing and directing understudies crosswise over East Africa.
