Involving PhD students in the teaching of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology in secondary and primary schools will help address the risk of a shortage of teachers for these subjects. Representatives of science faculties and representatives of the ministry agreed on the preparation of a programme that will motivate doctoral students in relevant fields to supplement their teaching qualifications while studying at science faculties at a meeting of the association on 10-11 January 2023 in Prague.
At the meeting of the association, the deans also discussed the topic of cooperation with journals with a reduced level of peer review and expressed concern about the increasing cases of non-compliance with publication ethics and the use of unfair practices in the reporting of scientific results. In order to improve the quality of education of future scientists, the deans of the associations in the Association of Deans of Faculties of Science agreed to develop a code of conduct for supervisors.
