The Coordination and Regional Development Commission (CCDR) of the Algarve evoked this Tuesday, May 16, National Day of Scientists, the legacy of José Mariano Gago from the Algarve, who showed that «basic scientific education, for all, was a prerequisite key to future employability'.
José Mariano Gago, who would have turned 78 today, «showed that basic scientific education, for everyone, was an essential condition for future employability and, moreover, for the exercise of citizenship», says the president of CCDR, in a note sent to the essays.
«And hence its permanent struggle to promote “live” science education, from the basic education level, partnerships between schools and scientific institutions, museums and information and documentation centres», he adds.
«The legacy of José Mariano Gago is, today, alive in the concrete universe of learning opportunities that the Living Science Centers provide our children and young people, particularly in basic education, but also in secondary education», recalls the CCDR.
«Today, more than privileged spaces for science education, the Ciência Viva Centers – in the Algarve, in Faro, Lagos and Tavira – are spaces for promoting innovation and processes for developing and reconciling skills, where the ability to learn, apprehend and undertake is stimulated», he concludes.
