PROMOTING SCIENCE TEACHING
Learning scientific reasoning skills, gaining access to knowledge and being taught scientific methods – these
are essential steps for the citizens of the future to develop critical thinking and for excellence to transmit within
the scientific community through time. The Académie des Sciences has a long-standing tradition of advising on
these matters: today, it takes action, even on the international level, to strengthen initial and ongoing teacher
training, renew science teaching at all school levels and ensure all young people equal opportunity in this field.
