This book aims to highlight science education in countries along the Belt and Road. It consists of 30 chapters divided into three main parts, namely Arab and African countries, Asian countries and European countries,. We invited science education experts from 29 Belt and Road countries to introduce the current status of science education in their countries and the new requirements with the rapid evolution of Information Technology. The major contributions of this book include:

1. Provide the current status of science education in countries along the Belt and Road as well as the requirement for developing and improving science education in these countries;

2. Discuss new insights of science education in future years;

3. Inspire stakeholders to take effective initiatives to develop science education in countries along the Belt and Road.

Introduces the future insights of science education in countries along the Belt and Road Focuses on science education progress in each country Provides initiatives related to science education in countries along the Belt and Road
