The base document for the week Monograph Santillana Education "Education by 2020, Juan Carlos Tedesco, former Minister of Education of Argentina, offers his thoughts on scientific literacy as follows:
Quality education for all is a universal education that socially meaningful learning. The management of basic scientific knowledge is an essential component in the formation of a citizen of the information society. This is the reason why science education should be incorporated into the content of universal and compulsory education. The main discussions are now full of people scientific and technical information. To make decisions on issues such as care for the environment, genetic manipulation or economic policy, for example, have to be scientifically literate. From the formal point of view, it is likely that this target has already been achieved in many countries. However, actual results are far from guaranteeing the goal posited by the speeches and official documents. In this sense, it is necessary to incorporate teaching methods that allow to discover the passion for knowledge, taste for experimentation and the domain of logical reasoning.
