Abstract
The chapter will give attention to several aspects aimed at improving the quality of learning science using local languages in education and local curriculum. The chapter draws on my research on the teaching of science subjects in Zanzibar, Tanzania (The United Republic of Tanzania)1, South Africa, Nigeria, Norway and the United States, as well as on a review of research on critical issues related to the learning of science that arise from decontextualized teaching and learning in Africa.
