“We must recognise the power of STEM learning and its potential to equip our children with the skills they will undoubtedly need in the future”
STEM is a real buzz word in the education sector at the moment and it seems to be its answer to everything.
Many educators and policymakers increasingly argue that more and more areas of education should focus on STEM, to future-proof our kids for a world that seems to be ever more technology-driven.
