Abstract
Chemistry in junior high schools covers 130 h in the course of three years; in secondary schools, there are 30 h in the first year, and, providing the students choose to study chemistry, a total of 240 h in classes two and three (matura exam). If students decide not to take science, they will unlikely broaden their knowledge of chemistry, biology, or physics again.
