*Megumi Sugimoto¹ (1.Kyushu University)

Keywords:public education, earth science, disaster management education

Natural disasters are mainly the subject of earth science in high school science. The number of applicants who choose earth science in university entrance exams is the least. I would like to explain what we should do to position life-saving “earth science” knowledge in public education in this presentation.
