Informal and formal astronomy education is present through many channels: newspapers and TV; amateur associations; clubs and science associations; at school at any level. The teachers are not only the main agents of the educational process at school, but they are also very active in extra-curricular activities: they run clubs, educational projects etc.

These activities are present everywhere in the world, as can be seen from the reading of the National Reports published every 3 years by Commission 46 “Astronomy Teaching” of the International Astronomical Union and published in its Newsletter.
