Geoscientific education is programmed in many educational institutes, such as primary schools, secondary schools, museums and geoparks. Many materials of geoscientific education are based on the government-approved textbooks, whereas the textbooks are partly unsuitable for academic knowledge of recent geoscience. Future geoscientific education requires educational materials and school curriculums which involve multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary geoscience.
