      Hey Yazmine – That is a really really tough one because it needs to be improved via the curriculum, which can’t be changed in the classroom, but needs to be changed in the government. I think projects such as this help as well as trying to do more hands on experimentation. Do you get to do many experiments at school?

      Hi Yazmine
      This is not an easy question to answer. In an ideal world I would make more time for teaching science so the students could do more experiments and have a lot more time to talk about and research the things that interested them. Right now teachers are given very little freedom to decide what to teach and are given no time to explore things with their students. I think this has to change a little, but exams always get in the way 🙁
