Repeal: "Promoting Natural Sciences In Schools"
Category: Repeal | GA #475 | Proposed by: Kaschovia
General Assembly Resolution #475 “Promoting Natural Sciences in Schools” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
Respectful for GAR #475, in the pursuit of a solution to insufficient promotion of scientific education in schools,
However conscious that, as the following are not defined and vague, opposing member nations may exploit and or misinterpret the terms 'non-trivial length of time' and 'relevant educational content', used in Clause 2, in a counterproductive way, and could put students at an educational disadvantage,
Worried that GAR #475 neglects a fundamental scientific practice in the employment of the peer-review process in setting standards for the eligibility of teachable, accepted scientific content, which may lower the quality of scientific education in many schools,
Troubled that the mandates of Clause 5, as it allows for problematic scenarios in the case of the prohibition of deliberate dissemination of 'false' information, can be evaded where hypotheses or ideas, unaccepted by the scientific community, can be taught mistakenly as a result of the vagueness in Clause 2, without deliberately disseminating 'false' information,
Concerned that Clause 7 urges member nations fund private schools' science classes in contradiction with their actual financial nature, and should instead have mandated, or even urged, that private schools appropriately fund science classes themselves in agreement with the general aim of the proposal,
Hopeful that, although GAR #475 has noble intentions and addresses an important issue, more effective legislation on this topic can be soon passed by this Assembly,
Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution #475, "Promotion of Natural Sciences in Schools."
