the
declaration
while
delivering
his
keynote
address
at
Hillside
Teachers’
College’s
67th
graduation
ceremony,
held
on
Thursday
at
the
institution’s
campus
in
Bulawayo.
He
said:
“It
is
pleasing
to
note
that
150
of
these
graduands
are
graduating
in
STEM
disciplines.
It
is
heartening
to
note
that
this
college
continues
to
contribute
meaningfully
to
the
Government’s
vision
of
advancing
science,
technology,
engineering,
and
mathematics
in
our
nation…“I
am
reliably
informed
that
the
college
facilitated
the
participation
of
some
female
students
in
the
Women
in
STEM
expo.
This
inspires
and
encourages
female
participation
in
STEM.”
The
Deputy
Minister
capped
a
total
of
325
graduands,
including
227
females
and
98
