School Chemistry is Out of Date

Abstract

Nineteen children in every hundred study chemistry to Ordinary Level GCE, and eighty per cent then drop the subject. Judging by current textbooks and examination syllabuses, these children will have no general understanding of modern chemistry. The author puts forward some suggestions for modernising chemistry curricula.
