" The program, which addaresses the goals of excellence and relevance in education stated in last month's Speech from the Throne, enhances science education from kindergarten to Grade 6, particularly for female students.

Science is for everyone. The program will focus on: The develop- ment of science curriculum in the early school years in a way that devotes more time and attention to this important area; ongoing support for teachers at the elemen- tary level through training and retraining in science education; ,the provision of the necessary learning materialin both English and French and equipment for science education at the elementary level; a public awareness campaign in science education to encourage the support and par- ticipation of parents, school boards and members of the public, including the private sector.
