STF is a purely voluntary Forum that is open to science and mathematics teachers of public and private schools, colleges and universities. The city-based chapters will be established after sufficient registrations of teachers as volunteers. Meetings of STF will be held every month or three month, usually on Saturday afternoons. The following could be some possible goals of STF:
In the short term, to identify and groom talented students at an early age and to inspire them for opting for careers in science and technology. For this purpose, we would need to prepare a list of volunteer teachers of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
In the medium term, to identify some burning issues that hampers science and mathematics education in the country and discusses possible ways to address these.
In the long term, to discuss strategies for the possible career development of science and mathematics teachers and suggest ways to make teaching an attractive career option that would be at par with any other career options. One might also like to include the organization contests, competitions, science fairs and field trips among the possible activities of the forum.
