As science become increasingly important in our daily lives,so the shortage of scientists gets greater.
The number of students going to university to study pure and applied science is decreasing by about five per cent each year
This,in turn,leads to a drop in the number of people able to be science teachers in schools.
This shortage of science teachers,unsurprisingly, leads to fewer school children studying science, and even fewer going on to university.Prominent science believe that one of the reasons is that science is undervalued in society;people do not discuss the latest scientific breakthrough in the same way they would discuss the latest bestseller.
