The impact of public education is without question in the ‘public good’ domain and hence there is really no need to justify the demand for it.

This paper will lay out the benefits it holds for the scientists, categorise the target groups and identify the methods of approach for each target group and finally outline some strategies that can be adopted to achieve the educational aims.
