AAAS Resolution: Commending Efforts to Enhance Science Education
Whereas American students must have strong academic programs in science and mathematics throughout the elementary and secondary grades if they are to live productive lives in the 21st century, and if they are to make responsible decisions which involve the interface between science, technology, and society; and
Whereas cooperation is imperative between elementary, secondary, and post-secondary segments of education if science and mathematics teachers (Kindergarten through Grade 12) and curricula are to be continuously updated and strengthened;
Therefore be it resolved that the American Association for the Advancement of Science hereby commend all members of the scientific community who have endeavored to strengthen and support science and mathematics teachers and school curricula, and who have contributed to strengthening the science and mathematics academic preparation of students. [Adopted by the AAAS Council, February 18, 1987.]
