The first major challenge that I have come up with is the significant impacts on non-science readers (or citizens in general) if they read scientific reports on media that were produced by non-science journalists. For instance, receiving incorrect and misleading information that might affect people who are trying to make important health decisions such as vaccinations. Secondly, schools should not be dividing students into different sets (low and top). Even if they do, students should be allocated based on their academic results/performance instead of their nationality (this is commonly seen in boarding schools with international students in which they are treated unequally since English is not their first language and is often claimed that this would cause them to fall behind during class). Having different levels means that top students would benefit from better education (teachers are often more passionate) and average students would have relatively less support. This would lead them to feel discouraged and hence slowly lose interest in learning the subject. In the second half of the review, I would like to focus on the solutions to improve the current education system, for instance, introducing more practical works or hands-on experiences as well as utilizing technologies to increase engagement and develop critical thinking. Explain how the educational level of teachers plays a crucial role in affecting the ability of students to assimilate science knowledge.
