SCORE: Science Community Representing Education
The Science Community Partnership Supporting Education (SCORE) partnership provides a coherent voice for the science education community on the long-term issues in science education.
The members of SCORE are the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Biology, the Biosciences Federation, the Science Council, the Association for Science Education and the Royal Society. SCORE is chaired by Sir Alan Wilson.
SCORE partners recognise the importance of taking a strategic approach to strengthening science education. Key priorities include addressing the serious problems of the decline in numbers of young people taking A level physics and chemistry and the unacceptable shortages of specialist teachers in these subjects in our schools and colleges.
The partners believe that the key to maximising the impact of their efforts, lies in a greater degree of collaboration and in having a sense of common purpose. Through this collective action, the partnership aims to increase its influence over the direction of science education in the years to come.
