STENCIL
To make Europe more competitive!
Increase of high skilled occupation demand by 2020
The career choice is made very early and it is strongly influenced (among other factors) by teachers met during the school years
Why to improve science education?
To increase democracy and participation!
• Science for All! In the knowledge based society, every citizen needs a basic scientific background to cope with daily issues and public debates
• More a country is developed less positive is the attitude of youngster toward science
Why to improve science education?
Improvements in science education should be brought about through new forms of
pedagogy: the introduction of inquiry-based approaches in schools, actions for
teachers training to IBSE, and the development of teachers’ networks should
be actively promoted and supported
