Science Education

Background

A solid grounding in science and mathematics enables all members of society to understand and constructively engage with the science and technology issues of the day. In addition, the next generation of scientists and engineers must be educated. For these reasons, an innovative society needs effective policies for ensuring a high-quality science, technology, engineering and mathematics education is available to all from primary schools to PhDs.
