UNESCO Resource Kit - Science and Technology Education
This folder of guidance and resources was published for UNESCO by the Association for Science Education. The resources consisted of 26 modules each with Student’s Notes and Teacher’s Notes.
UNESCO Project 2000+ was a collaborative partnership between eleven major international agencies and inter-governmental organisations with particular concerns and responsibilities for research and development in the field of science and technology education.
The Project 2000+ Declaration stated that that sustainable development is dependent upon a scientific and technologically literate population and called on governments, industry, public and private sector interests to review educational provision. It urged agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) and governments to work together to advance the capability of countries for designing, planning and implementing programmes to enhance scientific and technological literacy for all.
