Why are critical thinking and science literacy skills important among students? How can teachers help students learn these?
Why is science a compulsory subject in elementary and high school? Is it to introduce students to facts that are likely to change or become obsolete with time? Or is it to equip them with skills like critical thinking, information literacy, and scientific literacy that can be useful in meeting many real-world challenges?

The discussion will be in English.
