| description | There is often a disconnect between archaeology and the education system.

However, archaeology is not included in the curriculum of the United Kingdom.
The role of commercial archaeology is also essential in this, because they also have a responsibility of informing local communities about the archaeology they are doing. By making strides to include archaeology in the classroom by educators and continuing it in archaeological practice by archaeologists, children will be better informed about what archaeology is and how it works. Also, teaching children about archaeology can help to provide them with not only a greater understanding and appreciation for archaeology and but also its application of the scientific method outside of the typical spectrum of science courses. |
