At the symposium of the Japan Society of Earth Science Education conference, participants discussed key challenges in school-based earth science education. Four main issue areas emerged: issues related to teachers (including teacher training); issues related to coursework in high schools; issues related to the content of studies in elementary and high schools; and issues related to earth science teaching methods, materials, and tools. Although the participants broadly agreed on the importance of promoting Earth science education, there was no consensus on specific strategies for improvement.
