Changing Attitudes towards Science & Mathematics in Tamil Schools

With the simple philosophy to not complain, get involved and do what you can to make a change in our country, Dr. Mohamed Yunus Mohamed Yasin has been a driving force in mentoring and encouraging students to excel in science, especially in our local Tamil schools. Dr. Yunus joins us to discuss both the challenges and successes of this quiet Science revolution, which is being driven through the work of the Association of Science, Technology and Innovation (ASTI).
