Knowledge and learning about science have never been more important to all of us in our daily life. Oxford University Press (OUP) develops educational resources to engage learners with awe and wonder in science and to shape science citizens: not only educating the scientists of the future, but also empowering learners to navigate and play an active role in tackling everyday challenges.
To mark the launch and delivery of the PISA 2025 Science Framework, this site tells some of the stories of how the Framework was developed and shares our thinking and resources that will enable educators around the world to shape science citizens.
What are science citizens?
Shaping science citizens is our call to action and our motivation for empowering learners with knowledge and understanding of science to make informed decisions in their day-to-day lives and advocate decisions and action informed by science.
OUP and science
