Harry Shipman: Virtually everything that has happened in the conference is relevant to one or more of the recommendations of the resolution (see pp. 2–3). There should be a session like this at the next IAU General Assembly meeting and, preferably, it should not be on the last day.

Jay Pasachoff: I agree. Perhaps we are scheduled at the end of the meeting because we requested to be adjacent to the Teachers' Day. Next time we can ask to be earlier, and we can also ask for more than one session. Within the structure of Commission 46 on Astronomy Education and Development, we will certainly ask all our national liaisons to circulate the resolution within their respective countries. Further, we can ask the IAU national representatives to bring this resolution to a higher level: to the respective education ministries.

Case Rijsdijk: We should try to focus on bringing astronomy into the teacher-training institutions.

Syuzo Isobe: This resolution is a natural result of the present condition of astronomy education worldwide. However, although many IAU Commissions talk about the importance of education, the reality is that most of them only think about education at the research level, but not at the “mass” level. Therefore, our resolution should include a statement – backed up by IAU members, the IAU itself, and the national committees – to try to take school education seriously.
