Blackett Committee

The Blackett Committee was a group assembled in the early 1940s by the British government to explore how to improve the teaching of physics in schools. Recognizing the importance of science for the country's future, the committee examined current methods and resources, recommending ways to update curricula, provide better equipment, and train teachers. Their work aimed to make physics education more engaging and effective, laying the foundation for science education reforms in the UK. The committee's insights influenced how science, especially physics, was taught in schools to better prepare students for technological advancements.
