摘要：The number of students characterized as science enthusiasts in all countries and age groups does not exceed 20 %, except Belarus with 34%. The number of students characterized as science negationists is average of 41% in Belarus and 55% in Latvia, 70% in Sweden and 76 % in Finland, decreased from the form 7 to 12. Students in Latvia and Belarus demonstrated a higher positive value practically in all 16 statements. The Belarusian students had a considerably more positive attitude to school science compared to the Latvian students, and the Finnish students - compared to the Swedish ones. For the students from Latvia and Belarus, school science plays an important role in de-veloping their knowledge of nature and health, and in the choice of their future career. How-ever, the number of students who see themselves working in the field of science is small both in post-socialistic and Nordic countries.
