Association des Professeurs de Biologie et Géologie (APBG)
The Association des Professeurs de Biologie et Géologie (APBG) is a French professional association for teachers of biology, geology and the life and Earth sciences. It supports its members through professional exchange, educational resources, training, conferences and engagement with developments in science education.
APBG has approximately 2,500 members and maintains a national and regional network. It contributes to the quality and visibility of life and Earth science education and to dialogue between teachers, scientists and educational institutions.
Role and activities
APBG is run by a national committee elected by the regional branches and an executive national bureau. It promotes the teaching of life and Earth sciences throughout secondary education, supports experimental teaching and takes part in debates on programmes, recruitment examinations (CAPES and agrégation) and laboratory conditions in schools.
The association develops teaching resources, organises conferences and training days at national and regional level, and publishes a quarterly national bulletin and a website with publications for teachers. It cooperates with academics, researchers and industry and acts as a bridge between education and the socio-economic world.
