Are we acknowledging their importance in science education?

In this editorial article, Education in Chemistry’s editor Lisa Clatworthy reiterates the importance of school science technicians in education. She also asks whether EiC, and the wider Royal Society of Chemistry Education team, can do more for technicians involved in secondary and FE science education across the UK and Ireland. 

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".
