#ThisWeekInHistory On the 26th of March in 1996, Bindura University of Science Education (BUSE) opened its doors to the world, welcoming an inaugural class of 125 students. This marked a significant milestone in Zimbabwe’s education sector, as the institution was established to specialize in science education and produce graduates who would drive the country’s development. Since its humble beginnings, BUSE has grown to become a leading institution in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Over the years, BUSE has evolved to meet the changing needs of the country and the world. From its origins as a teacher training program to its current status as a full-fledged university, BUSE has remained committed to academic excellence and innovation. The university’s growth has been marked by several notable achievements, including the establishment of the National Sports Academy and the introduction of new programs in fields such as optometry.
Today, BUSE continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of Zimbabwe’s youth. With its strong focus on science education and research, the university is well-positioned to drive innovation and progress in the country. As BUSE celebrates its history, it looks forward to a bright future, continuing to inspire and empower generations of students to come.
