“Science Education for Active citizenship” is a publication on science education offers a 21st century vision
for science for society within the broader European agenda. This report is aimed primarily at science education
policy makers. It identifies the main issues involved in helping citizens to access scientific debate. It provides
guidance on how industry can contribute to science education; and it proposes a new framework for all types
of science education from formal, to non-formal and informal approaches.
Public engagement has already made a real difference in the governance and decision-making process of
Horizon 2020: providing a space for the citizen to tell us what works and what doesn’t, what’s important and
what’s not.
The report makes a substantive contribution to the policy debate within Europe on how best to equip citizens
with the skills they need for active participation in the processes that will shape everyone’s lives.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

• Mainstream – niche subjects
• Inclusion – variety of target groups
• Revision/catch-up
• Expatriates/cultural/language needs
• Continuing education (beyond school leaving)
• Geographical isolation *usually combined with another factor – not typically the primary motivation
• Pedagogy: broad spectrum – 100% online > significant face-to-face

• average size of single-institution Virtual Schools = c310 (adjusted c260)
• between 1/3rd and 1/2 are explicitly/exclusively aimed at inclusion
• school-phobic, excluded, travellers, young parents, pregnancy, bullying, in care etc
• in Belgium and the Netherlands virtual schooling is very much concentrated on hospital
education and the sick, or those with mobility problems
• Finland’s schools include those focusing on Continuing Education (for young people)
• some support extremely broad spectrum (e.g. Otava )
• at least 6 Virtual Schools are fully, or in part, for expatriates (and we know of more)

11. Reflections
Virtual Schools reflect local context – they may be consistent with local cultures and
traditions or they may develop because local cultures and traditions have weak-
points.
It may be local cultures and traditions which have prevented the development of local
schools;
• traditionally, schools are to keep children safe and off the streets (especially in
Southern European countries)
• a dislike/distrust of home-schooling
• ‘loyalty to the investment’ in ICT in the classroom – reluctance to see this become
obsolete
So...
The Virtual Schools landscape is, therefore, different from country to country – but it
varies by school board and by state/province in the US and Canada – yet there are
underpinning similarities/common interests.
12. And will face many of the same challenges as in North America and Australia
• Do existing Legislative Frameworks disadvantage virtual schooling?
• Are there tensions between sovereign states and EU (State v Federal?)?
• Quality assurance? Common standards? Autonomy and innovation? Are these exclusive?
• Accreditation? Cross-border recognition? Who ‘owns’ the qualifications?
• Funding? Cross-border funding?
• Attitudes to Open Educational Resources? Govt? EC? Content providers?
• Public Opinion? Is this how Virtual Schooling is viewed in some countries...
16. What next ?
• Build the evidence base (looking also to NA and Aus).
• Colleges?
• Eastern and Central Europe?
• Southern and Mediterranean Europe?
• Strategic level initiatives?
• Mainstream – is there significant virtual schooling hidden within?
• Build a network?
• Link the network beyond Europe - and beyond Virtual Schooling.
• Develop the policy guidance...
...at EC level - where priorities remain stable and at national level - which is unstable so...
...customise the ‘case for virtual schools’ and the policy guidance to (changing) local
contexts.
• Articulate rather than advocate – objective rather than evangelical.
