Challenges in

the 21st

Century

Solving the problems of

climate change, poverty,

food security, water

security and the growing

world economy, all

depend on how well-

educated is the

population in STEM

IMPORTANCE OF STI KNOWLEDGE

To create more prosumers than consumers

Ultimately, healthy economic growth depends on the ability of individuals to buy and use, what a nation produces

• Demand for STEM Talent

• Industry NeedsCradle to Career

• Improving labour market (local)

• Transformed agri-based to manufacturing and service based economy

Accelerate Economic Growth

• Skills enhancement of STEM teachers and workforce

• Improving the quality education

Strengthening Lifelong Learning

WHY STEM EDUCATION MATTERS

13

The future needs Science,

Technology, Engineering

and Mathematics (STEM)

STEM cannot solve all of

the worlds problem but

neither can we face the

future without it.

Hence many countries have started to provide

STEM education to equip their future

generation to be solution providers and

Malaysia should not be an exception

Disciplines of knowledge consisting of Science (physics, chemistry andbiology) and mathematics with the integration of various technologiesand engineering. STEM incorporates all the technologies that engagescience and mathematics (National Stem Movement, 2016)

The workforce needs in the 21st Century havealso changed and the schools and universitycurriculum have to keep up with these changes

The workforce situation has raised the need forincreased education in STEM

STEM Paradox - As the number of STEMstudents continued to be produced by theschools and universities, the industries say wedo not produce enough students and the numberof jobs continue not to be filled.

Science Outlook 2015-2016

STEM Talent

How is Malaysia positioned with regards to its STEM Talent pool?

• Ineffective teaching methodology• Ad-hoc changes in policies • Low levels of awareness of the demand for

specialised talent

A decline in interest in Science, contributing to STEM talent depletion
