Skal vi lykkes med den grønne omstillingen og styrke konkurransekraften, må interessen for teknologi vekkes tidlig i skolen. Flere elever må bli gode i realfag for å velge teknologistudier senere. Vi trenger en realfagssatsing fra utdanning til etter- og videreutdanning.
Safina de Klerk, visepresident i NITO
