Extended data:
National quality is an important basis to determine a country's competitiveness, and scientific literacy is an important part of national comprehensive quality, which is a major issue related to China's meeting new challenges and successfully realizing modernization in the new international competition.
However, due to various reasons, China's national scientific literacy is still not high, so it is urgent to attach importance to improving national scientific literacy. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate policies in line with China's national conditions and reality, and do a good job in popular science, and the basis for formulating policies is investigation and research.
Public scientific literacy survey is a very important basic work in popular science work.
Education is the main factor that affects China citizens' scientific literacy, economy is the driving factor to improve citizens' scientific literacy, political factors play a guiding role in improving China citizens' scientific literacy, and culture also profoundly affects China citizens' scientific literacy, which has both promoting and restricting effects.
Education is the main factor that affects China citizens' scientific literacy. Establishing and perfecting the national lifelong education system that adapts to China's economic and social development, especially vigorously developing social education and connecting school education, family education and social education, are the main ways to continuously improve the scientific literacy of Chinese citizens.
Economy is the driving factor to improve citizens' own scientific literacy. On the one hand, the increase of economic investment will provide material guarantee for the construction of citizens' scientific literacy. On the other hand, China's national economic construction needs a large number of workers with scientific literacy, and individuals also need to constantly improve their scientific literacy to meet the needs of economic development.
