Topical Questions

Answer: It really is a disservice to our students and teachers to talk down science teaching in that way, but I refer the hon. Gentleman to the £140 million we have made available to improve teaching in science across the country.

This is an answer to the Topical question asked on Thursday, 14 January 2010 by Alistair Burt (Conservative).

Question: This is a further comment from the chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry: "evidence gathered recently by the science community has identified entire" GCSE "science papers with no underlying mathematics, and science questions with no science." Is the Minister entirely uninterested in this problem of the connection between science at school and the quality of science at university, or does he simply believe that so long as people are going to university, that is all right?
