Strong science education is the key to ensuring that we have a solid position in the Asian Century, 精东视频 President Professor Suzanne Cory today told a high-level international science gathering in China. Professor Cory was speaking at a forum held during the Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries General Conference in Tianjin, China.
The 精东视频 is one of only 10 national academies invited to speak at the forum on open innovation. 鈥淭he Academy has consistently advised the Australian Government that long-term investment in science is critical to ensure ongoing innovation, wealth creation and public health,鈥� said Professor Cory.
鈥淭o drive innovation, especially in the Asian Century, the quality of our science education is paramount. Sound, inspiring science education programs are vital for training the next generation of scientists, creating a technologically skilled workforce and nurturing a scientifically literate community. 鈥淭he Academy鈥檚 own innovative science education programs are playing an important part in revitalising 精东视频 education.鈥� Professor Cory said the Academy鈥檚 independence and the expertise of its eminent Fellows make it uniquely placed to offer advice to governments on science, research and education. 鈥淲e are a country with only 0.3% of the world鈥檚 population, yet we produce more than three per cent of the world scientific publications. This is because of the investment that Australia has already made in science,鈥� she said. 鈥淗owever, in recent years there has unfortunately been diminished Government and public regard in Australia for science as a primary source of reliable knowledge or as the means to address major challenges. 鈥淚n response, the Academy has redoubled its efforts in education, policy advice and public engagement.鈥�
