Across Europe there are calls to attract more students to mathematics and science: this is acknowledged as being of great importance
for national economies and the position of the EU in relation to the rest of the world. As the rate of development of technology
increases, we need to provide adequately prepared workers and citizens that are equipped with knowledge and skills that allow them
to act in current society. However, although young people understand the importance of science and mathematics, they see careers in
other sectors as being more attractive.
The PRIMAS partners have a vision of young people with curious and inquiring minds, who are intrinsically eager to
extend their knowledge of mathematics and science. We are currently contacting and supporting teachers who wish to
join our mission and want to ensure that experiences in learning mathematics and science reflect the exciting and
dynamic world that young people live in. This will raise their interest in and motivation for science and mathematics
and will encourage further education in these disciplines.
We support teachers to develop their students’ inquiry skills in mathematics and science. We provide professional
development materials to explore effective teaching methods as well as classroom materials for direct use by students.
We ensure that teachers are also supported indirectly through our work with a wide range of stakeholders such as parents
and policy makers.
The project will achieve its aims over four years (2010 - 2013) bringing together educational expertise from 14
institutions across 12 European nations.
