Canada Future: Canada and Science

canada future: Only students in Japan, Estonia and Singapore fared better than Canadian students, according to the report, according to CTV. Bonnie Schmidt, president and founder of Canada Let Talk Science, called the results a wonderful reflection of Canada education systems, particularly in the field of science. Canada tied Finland for fourth overall in the 2015 ranking compiled by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which measured math, science and reading levels in 540,000 randomly-selected 15-year-olds. I think were actually paying more attention to science, she told CTV News Channel on Tuesday, suggesting that the survey results bode well for Canada future, as the global economy becomes more technology-focused. We need to pay more attention to the S.T.E.M. disciplines science, technology, engineering and math, she said. She credited Canadian teachers for their efforts, but acknowledged that more must be done to encourage students to go into science careers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
