Sumario:The article presents teacher training colleges' views on comprehensive planning of the science curriculum. Continuous science program has been developed to uplift the present state of science in the U.S. schools. Educators are organizing courses in safety education due to the fact that science courses have generally ignored the primary problems of safety. A reasonably effective continuous science program has been developed for making a broad cooperative educational and social planning. Moreover, it is suggested that close contact and cooperation must be established between training schools and colleges division of science to make a twelve-year science program coordinated and effective. Lack of suitably trained teachers also motivates for the development of a more adequate and functional science program.
