Let’s introduce more representative examples in our chemistry classrooms

Taking a decolonised, more inclusive approach to teaching chemistry encourages greater connection to the learner and their lived experiences. Curriculum inclusivity will reduce marginalisation and help all students believe that chemistry lessons and careers are for them.

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".
