National
Scientific Knowledge Plan
The China Association for Science and
Technology recently announced that a national science plan is
to be implemented by the end of the year. The plan aims at helping
all Chinese citizens over the age of 18 attain a standard level
of scientific knowledge by the year 2049 -- the 100th anniversary
of the founding of the People's Republic. The association is
now mobilizing experts to work out graded criteria for scientific
knowledge in three aspects: scientific knowledge, a scientific
view of the world, and competence in scientific exploration
and technological operation.
