In 2002, the guidelines concerning recombinant DNA experiments was renewed and now allows this experiment within a safety range at schools. It is said that the hands-on lab activity using the recombinant DNA experiment in high schools is very effective for understanding the basics of molecular biology, while making students interested in biotechnology and gene literacy education. Although it would be better for all students to experience, it, only a small number of student have a chance. We administered a questionnaire survey to teachers of biology and studied some cases carried out to popularize the recombinant DNA experiment. From these results, we investigated what is needed to make this experiment more popular in gene literacy education. The results of questionnaire survey showed that effective lessons mutually motivate teachers and students. Educational material kits make it easy for teachers to try and are useful for them. We know that is some good cooperation between school, university and administration, and therefore teacher motivation is very important. We conclude with 10 needs to popularize the recombinant DNA experiment; they are related in complex ways. It is important to carry out action continuously and see these things in the long-term.
