Teaching basic skills: Science

The European Education and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission has published a new set of thematic guides for teaching basic skills. These guides support the European Commission’s Basic Skills Action Plan, and aim to boost teaching and learning, support educators and enable supportive environments.

According to the guide for teaching science, science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) competencies are essential for lifelong learning, and foster inquiry-based learning and real-world problem-solving skills. 

The guide offers insights on key practices and whole-school approaches to help cultivate scientific literacy for all.
