Chemistry teachers welcome science curriculum development

Autonomy. Independence. Understanding. Curriculum reform around the globe is enthusing science teachers by switching the focus from content to student competence. What’s not to like about development which enhances students’ understanding of chemistry rather than asking them to remember and recite information? Despite teething troubles in some areas, most teachers welcome this dynamic approach to curriculum development.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
