COVID-19 pandemic – Time to speak about STEM education, sustainable development and conspiracies

Abstract

Based on publicly available data correlations have been found between youngsters’ literacies assessment and adultś assessments and behaviour patterns in social practice. Overall, it can be pointed out that STEM Sustainability Education of young people induces, in long-term education aims, STEM literacy of adults for long-life learning competencies and for sustainable development of the society. This implies a certain resilience of citizens against conspiracy theories which, of course among other reasons, substantially supports a countries capability to overcome a pandemic crisis like the present COVID-19 catastrophe.
