Science In Schools

EDM number 390 in 2014-15, proposed by Alan Meale on 23/10/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Schools and Science.

That this House is aware of the importance of science to the nation; notes, however, that in many schools, chemistry teachers do not even have a chemistry degree, there also being an acute shortage of specialist science subject leaders; further notes that evidence shows that teachers who have a specialist background in the subject they teach have a positive impact on a child's education, particularly in science; and calls on the Government immediately to invest in this sector to ensure children are offered science education at a more qualified and specialised level.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
