The Science Teaching Survey tells us what it’s like to be an educator today, and helps the RSC Education team provide effective support to you and influence policymakers

Each year the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Education team asks teachers and technicians across the UK and Ireland to complete the Science Teaching Survey, run with the Royal Society of Biology and the Institute of Physics. In this article, learn how the data and insights gathered so far have helped the RSC Education team to support teachers, develop new programmes and influence education policymakers, and find out how to get involved with the survey.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

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".
