2. Do you think indigenous science should be considered science?

Answer 1

1.) Science education is an investment for the country because of the following prime reasons:-

a) Science education extremely essential for youth to understand the current technological advanced world.

b) It helps people solve problems rationally with a better understanding of the situation, not just for themselves but for their family, community and the state.

c) Scientific aptitude developed by education enables people to invest time in research and development which is key to the future of a community.

d) Scientific aptitude also helps develop to prevent huge losses to lives, economy and diversity. Prime examples are natural calamity management, finance management and diversity data analysis and strategy making using mordern technology. All of these are so powerful with modern science and technology and so naive without it.

2.) Indigenous science is important aspect of science education as it teaches you the knowledge inherited over generations. It is something which is acquired over time and should be included in basic subjects. The bottle neck here is the facts which you get indigeneously should be carefully filtered and provided to the students. However, as an acquired knowledge over generations, indigineous science should be considered as the part of science.
