Science Education Day

Science Education Day is an annual American holiday celebrating education and the advancement of science in the country. It is on March 14. The purpose of the holiday is to encourage everyone’s contribution to the development of science and the advancement of education.

History

Science education combines several disciplines, including mathematics, science, and computer science. Steady development in this direction began with the creation of the Committee of Ten, which conducted the accreditation of science education in America.

People have always been interested in science, but interest increased greatly during the Industrial Revolution. During this period, there was also a problem of a shortage of qualified personnel. New inventions appeared, and production became more and more automated. Specialists capable of operating machines efficiently were needed. Manual labor was gradually replaced by machine labor.

The Committee of Ten held a conference in 1892 that brought together the best teachers from educational institutions in Florida. A program of study was drawn up, the fulfillment of which would improve the level of scientific education and produce literate people ready for any challenges in the modern world.
