For the past three years, The Science Teaching Survey has tracked the trends and challenges facing secondary and further education science teachers.
The survey enables us to monitor changes in critical areas like staffing and professional development. We also explore current topics in education: this year, we asked teachers about artificial intelligence and how they use it in their work.

We are deeply grateful to the 1,846 science teachers and technicians who shared their experiences with us in 2024.
Within the survey findings, you’ll find links to resources that will support you in your teaching, like our free professional development courses.
About the 2024 survey
The survey is led by the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 and supported by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and the Royal Society of Biology (RSB).
Science teachers and technicians in secondary and further education (FE) completed the survey in April 2024.

Teachers feel they鈥檙e able to make a difference
We asked teachers whether they felt able to make an impact on young people’s lives through their teaching:
94% of science teachers recognise the impact they have on students
It is still a great job after all the years. Most young people are fabulous.
A lot of pupils within the school have come from deprived backgrounds, so helping build cultural capital through science gives them the knowledge to understand and comprehend situations so they can make informed decisions.
If I didn't believe (that I’m making an impact on young people’s lives), it would be an impossible job to do!
