Experts from the State Academy of Sciences show that the program of biology for classes V-VIII pushed into the background the theory of evolution. There was also a lack of knowledge in the field of environmental protection, there can be no question of GMOs. It’s dangerous, convincing because many of the students in elementary school will end their adventure with biology.

“Nothing in biology makes sense if not seen in the light of evolution,” said the famous scientist, Theodosius Dobzhansky. The Minister of education Anna Zalewska and the authors of the new blueprint, however, have a different opinion.
prior To December 9, experts, teachers, parents and even students can submit their comments and feedback on new software foundations. A Committee of Biology, Ecological and Evolutionary LORD after reviewing the document, he sent Anna Zalewskiej the letter, which was published simultaneously on your website.
- Some changes cause our deep concern, the scientists write. The main disadvantage of the new software marginalizacja foundations of the theory of evolution, which were brought to taken out of context of the questions raised at the end of the cycle of teaching biology.
in fact, this is one homely phrase who disappeared from new foundations, but in practice so many things have changed: “[the student] indicates that the evolutionary sources of biological diversity”. How to convince biologists that this requirement that apply to the student, provided for the need of evolutionary thinking during the entire cycle of teaching biology, especially in the discussion of biodiversity.
the Theory of evolution tells the student that the diversity that surrounds it, has some meaning, explains in an interview with ” Virtual Poland Professor Krzysztof Spalik, Chairman of the Committee on Environmental Biology and Evolutionary LORD, and at the same time the author of the previous blueprint. Without the theory of evolution teaching in biology is just a lot of facts to remember. There is nothing in all this diversity explains.
In response to the letter from the Minister Zalewskiej in a network there is a lot of comments of concerned teachers and parents, who fear that the next step will be the introduction to the textbooks the theory of creationism. Prof. Spalik, however, refutes these concerns.
- It does not threaten us. In the new basis, we are talking about evolution claims that it is her, however, in isolation knowledge and beauty. Disappeared requirements that allow the student the knowledge to integrate – explains the scientist.
also Draws attention to the fact that it is not only the elements, which with a new base disappeared. It does not, for example, the question of global and local threats to the environment.
- None of the serious researchers do not deny global warming, we all know how serious a problem is at least landscaping wastes and debris, and that the new project is nothing, – said the Professor. Spalik.
Another thing that fell from the basics of teaching biology that worries them is lack of the concept of GMOs.
Is not a good thing for those students who will have contact with biology, and do not know what genetically modified organisms, and they are the subject of discussion in society. We are talking about making disciples orientowali that’s going to take a conscious position.
Many of the students after primary school will no longer have any contact with this kind of knowledge. This will happen even if they do not go to school, and currently this applies to the middle of the year.
- This will have a serious impact on future generations, says the Professor. Spalik. – If citizens are not aware of the danger, it will not notice the need for changes.
Biologists agree that zaserwowana MEN through the programme, even 30 years ago.
Is the biology from the days when I was still in elementary school and, unfortunately, from the days when biology was a subject hated for excess knowledge faktograficznej, says Professor Spalik. – This base is not suitable for the modern world. And it is very dangerous, because we produce students who on many important matters will not have a clue.
