Obama's Science Advisers Look at Reform of Schools

摘要

Confident that its opinions will be welcomed by the Obama Administration, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) has launched a study of how best to improve U.S. science education. The goal is a quick-turnaround analysis to help guide U.S. policy on ways to raise student test scores and provide higher-octane fuel to run the nation's innovation system.rn"Filling the scientific pipeline is a critical issue for this country," says PCAST Co-Chair Eric Lander, who will team up with council member James Gates to lead the study. "Our feeling was that we cannot avoid taking on this challenge."
