Tories call for primary science labs

SCIENCE labs should be built in primary schools, to help get children interested in science from an early age, says the Conservative Party.

The report also called for more resources to be given to teaching science to younger pupils and for the provision of specialist science teachers.

The task force consulted major UK professional bodies to see how the hi-tech industries can be improved and was commissioned by Conservative leader David Cameron.
