The AAAS/UNESCO International Conference on Science and Technology Education |
On June 5-7, 2004, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) organized a conference with UNESCO on the state of science and technology education worldwide. This was the first meeting to take place in Paris between the United States and UNESCO since the two were rejoined last September after a 19-year estrangement. Educators from the continents of Africa, Europe, Asia and North and South America met to begin a worldwide examination of the systems for teaching science and technology.
Dr. Manuel Gómez and Dr. Ana C. Piñero were invited by AAAS to present the systemic educational reform developed and implemented in Puerto Rico’s public school system under the Statewide Systemic Initiative.
Mr. Koichiro Matsuura, UNESCO’s Director-General, Hon. Louise Oliver, U.S. Ambassador to the UNESCO, Dr. Gilbert S. Omenn, President-Elect AAAS, and Dr. Shirley Malcom, AAAS/EHR Director, opened the two day conference. Panelists included two Nobel Laureates, Dr. Leon Lederman and Dr. George Charpak.
