Education and learning
The future of science depends on the quality of science teaching today.
The Wellcome Trust has a long-standing enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring an excellent science education for all students. This is because it is impossible to have extraordinary science without extraordinary scientists and a public eager to understand and gain from their work.
From these pages, you can find out about
- resources that we fund or produce to help young people to engage with biomedical science and the issues it raises
