我国人民群众的科学素质水平与发达国家的差距较大。我国大多数人对于基本科学知识了解程度较低，而且在科学精神、科学思想和科学方法等方面更是欠缺。人民群众科学素质水平的低下，严重制约了我国创新型人才的产生和成长，已成为制约我国经济发展和社会进步的瓶颈之一。 （ The gap of the scientific quality level between the people in our country and the developed countries is larger. Most of our people not only have a low level of understanding of basic scientific knowledge, but also lack scientific spirit, scientific ideas and scientific methods. The low scientific quality level of the people seriously hampered the emergence and growth of innovative talents, and has become one of the bottlenecks restricting China's economic development and social progress.)
