To strengthen the national capacity for science popularization and further implement the initiative to enhance the scientific literacy of all citizens, the China Association for Science and Technology conducted the 15th national civic scientific literacy sample survey in 2025. The survey results show that by 2025, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy has reached 16.74%, reflecting an accelerating improvement trend in civic scientific literacy throughout the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. The imbalance in the development of scientific literacy among different regions and groups has been greatly alleviated. The scientific literacy of key groups has been comprehensively enhanced, and the quality of scientific literacy development has continued to improve. The structure of citizens’ scientific literacy has been continuously optimized, with nearly half of the population basically possessing scientific literacy. The Internet has significant advantages as the primary channel for citizens to obtain scientific and technological information. The willingness of citizens to visit science and technology venues and the positive outcomes of their visits are both at a relatively high level. Citizens’ recognition of the value of scientific and technological innovation has steadily increased, and they have higher expectations for the social responsibilities shouldered by scientists. Citizens maintain a high level of attention and enthusiasm for participating in cutting-edge technologies, laying a solid mass foundation for fostering an innovative culture and accelerating sci-tech self-reliance. Citizens’ awareness of artificial intelligence is gradually improving, and the social acceptance of artificial intelligence is increasing. The survey results over the years have provided important data for the scientific setting of policy development goals such as the implementation plan of the “15th Five-Year Plan” for improving the scientific literacy of all citizens, and have contributed to consolidating the human resource foundation for the development of new quality productive forces and thereby serving to build China into a world leader in science and technology.
