The study in question was a part of a science project organizaed by the City Hall. Data were drawn from students from 8 primary schools and 19 secondary schools from Barcelona. Students indicate their views about their school science education and their choice of carrier using the questionnaire-based Relevance of Science Education Project (ROSE). Results show the opinions tpward science declined as they progressed through their schooling, and this decline was more pronounced in the first years of secondary school.
