Distinguishing Reasons for Choice of Science Versus Non-Science Collegiate Majors by Science-Able Secondary School Leavers in Sierra Leone

Abstract

dc:description

This exploratory survey was conducted to uncover some of the main reasons science-able secondary school leavers in Sierra Leone choose not to puruse science beyond secondary school level. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and personal tape-recorded interviews with science and non-science students, and with some science teachers.
