Abstract :
It is suggested that metrology education should be very diverse and serve both the person who wishes to be a generalist and the person who wishes to be a specialist in the field. In addition, it should serve the needs of people in many fields who will find the concepts of metrology useful in their work. It is emphasized that metrology needs to become an integral part of the intellectual property of every scientific professional. The study of metrology should be included as the `laboratory side´ of the science of mathematics at all levels of the educational system
