Darwin teaching 'divides opinion'
More than half of adults in a survey of 10 countries thought school science lessons should teach evolutionary theories alongside creationism.
Among those who knew of Darwinism, on average 53% felt other possible perspectives should also be taught.
The figure was 68% in Argentina, in the poll for the British Council, which promotes educational opportunities.
In Great Britain 60% felt this way. In Egypt, 27% said such theories should not be in science lessons at all.
The British Council, the UK's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations, is running a programme of activities under the banner Darwin Now.
This marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his work, On the Origin of Species.
