06.2 Advocacy for Science Education

Revision Approved by the Council on November 10, 2021

High-quality and accessible science education is essential for an informed and well-functioning society. The American Physical Society, through its Washington Office, will advocate support of appropriately peer-reviewed programs that foster and improve undergraduate and graduate science education or that seek to improve education of K-12 science teachers.

The review process for any statement may be started at any time if deemed necessary by the Panel on Public Affairs, and at least once every five years.
