Teaching is not an easy job. In addition, when it comes to teaching science, it becomes more firesome. Different teaching methodologies, including ICT, plus more investment in terms of money and time are needed to get satisfactory output. Science is a subject of curiosity, acquisitiveness and questioning. There are many sub-branches of science. Even at the secondary level, four major branches of science, physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy are incorporated. These four make up the basics of all sciences. Moreover, these fields are completely independent.
Then how can a single teacher at the secondary level, especially in community schools and English medium private schools, be teaching all these subjects when one has mastered only one field? For better output, individual teachers should be managed separately Subject/branch.
Only lectures and discussion methods are not sufficient to make the students understand the scientific concepts. Laboratory experiments, field visits, project work too are essential for the study of science.
