Abstract

This paper harped on human capital development in science, technology and mathematics education with
special reference to its implications for sustainable development in Africa. The usefulness and relevance of
science, technology and mathematics education to sustainable development in African Nations are no
longer in doubt. Therefore any nation that plays with these indices plays with her own development.
America is a super power today because she has been able to transfer her science into technology. This
could also be done in Africa through effective and efficient development of STM human capital. This paper
discussed the rational for human capital development in STM education, the economic implications of
human capital development in STM education and the attendant suggestions to improve human capital
development in the STM programme in Africa.
