Abstract

We need a workforce with basic understanding of science and mathematics; with problem-solving skills; with communication skills; with critical thinking skills; with skills to understand statistics and probabilities. In general, science education will improve when students realize that in order to get better jobs they need to understand science, mathematics, and technology. The following presents my ten pragmatic suggestions for the improvement of science education in general.
