Last year's survey received around 2000 responses from science teachers and technicians across the UK and Ireland. The findings cast a light on the rewards and challenges that face science educators, including funding, understaffing and preparing the next generation for the future workforce.
In the 2026 survey, we include benchmarking questions that help to identify trends as well as focusing on areas such as nation specific curriculum changes, teaching of sustainability and climate change, and helping young people find a meaningful connection to science.
The survey is being led by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) with support from many organisations including ASE (Association for Science Education), IOP (Institute of Physics), RSB (Royal Society of Biology), The Royal Society, Salters' Institute and CLEAPSS.
Your feedback is valuable and will help us to better represent and support those who are working in science education.
The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Findings from this research will be available to the public. However, all responses will be strictly confidential and will be aggregated for analysis to ensure your anonymity. For more information, please see our
