In the last decade, we have witnessed financial crises, SARS, avian flu and terrorism. These events arrived silently without warnings and students need to be prepared for future and unpredictable mega-problems. They need to think critically and creatively to solve problems in order to survive. To do this they need broad-based knowledge and thinking skills and science is one discipline which naturally provides the content and opportunities to develop the essential skills.
