Why Change?
In our work with thousands of teachers in hundreds of secondary schools, as well as from our work with faculty from dozens of colleges and universities, we have heard recurring concerns voiced:
too many students have low motivation and poor work habits;too many are not as well as prepared for the next level as they should be; too many don’t know the basics and cannot apply what they know.
Many students have told us they find the teaching dull and the curriculum meaningless to them. Few when asked can articulate why they are learning what is presented to them.
Why STEM Education?
“In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy.
To succeed in this new
information-based and highly technological society, students need to
develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was
considered acceptable in the past.
STEM education gives people skills that make them more employable and ready to meet the current labor demand.
It encompasses the whole range of experiences and skills. Each STEM
component brings a valuable contribution to a well-rounded education.
Science gives learners an in-depth understanding of the world around us.
STEM education goes beyond school subjects. It gives a skill set that governs the way we think and behave. Merging science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM education helps us to solve the challenges the world faces today. Let’s see what STEM means in the global context and how it influences the development of our society. ”
STEM
education gives people skills that make them more employable and ready
to meet the current labor demand. It encompasses the whole range of
experiences and skills. Each STEM component brings a valuable
contribution to a well-rounded education.
Science gives learners an
in-depth understanding of the world around us. It helps them to become
better at research and critical thinking. Technology prepares young
people to work in an environment full of high-tech innovations.
Engineering allows students to enhance problem-solving skills and apply
knowledge in new projects. Mathematics enables people to analyze
information, eliminate errors, and make conscious decisions when
designing solutions.
STEM education links these disciplines into a
cohesive system. Thus, it prepares professionals who can transform
society with innovation and sustainable solutions.
Who benefits from STEM?
STEM
education helps to bridge the
ethnic and gender gaps sometimes
found in
math and science fields.
Initiatives have been established to
increase the roles of women and
minorities in STEM-related fields.
STEM education
breaks the traditional
gender roles. In order to compete in a
global economy, STEM education and
careers must be a national priority.
Each
and every decision made uses
an aspect of STEM to understand the
implications.
Vision
The School seeks:
Partnerships with universities, research centers, factories, companies and those who care about education for development, training and application.
To be linked with the latest innovations and research issues in a
lifelong culture and to work as a team with students and teachers.
To develop the elements of innovation and creativity as an essential goal and to shed light on the role of science and engineering in the development of Egypt and the world.
STEM-Enhanced Teamwork and
Communication
STEM
education prepares the world for the future. It is based on teamwork and
collaboration of professionals from different disciplines. As a STEM
student, you do not need to be an expert in each particular subject. You
rather acquire a mindset that enables you to become a part of the
highly qualified workforce, which functions in collaboration. Teamwork
brings a significant increase in productivity, work satisfaction, and
profitability.
Active engagement of experts from diverse fields will drive change in our society. STEM education exposes students to effective interdisciplinary communication. Scientists research and experiment, offering the team discoveries.
Technology experts provide gadgets that can make the work of the team more effective. Engineers help to solve challenges by designing and running platforms that enable change. Mathematicians analyze information to eliminate mistakes and provide precise calculations.
Our world is continuously changing. The only way we can be ready for its challenges is through communication and collaboration.
Collaborative experience also helps to broaden the impact of STEM education. Working with local experts and our international colleagues, we can promote our values and move towards a single purpose.
This way, we improve communities, offering new
educational and employment opportunities. Such open access to
world-class experience is possible only when we combine our knowledge
and capabilities.
