SAARMSTE Conference | University of Johannesburg​

PUBLISHED ON:April 15, 2026

The conversations are sharp, generous, and deeply grounded in real classrooms and real systems.

“I had the privilege of presenting a long paper at the Southern African Association for Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (SAARMSTE) Conference, hosted by the University of Johannesburg. The long paper sessions sit at the centre of the programme and are spaces for in-depth discussion, critical feedback, and rich scholarly exchange with experienced researchers and journal editors. Grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and energising research community.
