The 21st century educators are confronted with the difficult task of educating young minds to meet the demands of an increasingly globalised world. Many countries face the challenge of preparing citizens who will be able to address and solve local, national and global problems in order to function equally well in these environments. The issues on today’s environmental problem are not local but on global scale which affect everyone no matter which race, age, gender or religion we are in. Therefore, not only the environmentalists are responsible for sustaining the environment, but to protect the environment for sustainable living is also everyone’s duty.

In this regard, knowledge of science and mathematics is essential as it empowers people to systematically use the knowledge more effectively to solve problems.
In addition, there is however a need to educate the young to acquire as well as to apply the knowledge and skills embodied in science and mathematics, at the same time take the advantages of the knowledge of technologies and engineering that would enable them to create innovative and creative ideas. This conference will bring educators and researchers together to discuss and address issues from their research that could be used inform the pedagogy and policy in education for the purpose to enhance Science and Mathematics Education.
