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(CAST),in collaboration with the National Bureau of Statistics,conducted the 14th national sample survey on Chinese civic scientific literacy in 2024. This survey provided critical data for the evaluation of the“Outline of the National Scheme for Scientific Literacy(2021—2035)”during the 14th Five-Year Plan period,as well as for achieving the goal of raising the proportion of citizens with scientific literacy to over 15% by 2025. The results show that the scientific literacy of Chinese citizens has been improving at an accelerating pace,with the proportion reaching 15.37% in 2024. The imbalance in scientific literacy development has been alleviated to some extent,and the population with basic scientific literacy is now substantial. The internet has further solidified its position as the primary channel for citizens to access scientific and technological information,while science and technology museums have demonstrated higher visitation and utilization efficiency among various science popularization infrastructures. Overall,Chinese citizens increasingly value science,adopt rational and pragmatic attitudes,and support innovation,with further improvements in critical thinking and scientific awareness. The development of artificial intelligence(AI)enjoys a strong public foundation,with citizens holding positive attitudes and ample confidence toward AI applications,though some concerns remain about job displacement.
