Under the track, you can become a pilot, an architect, an astrophysicist, a biologist, a
chemist, an engineer, a dentist, a nutritionist, a nurse, a doctor, and a lot more. Those who
are also interested in Marine Engineering should take this track.
Founded on the belief that STEM is key to solving real-life problems and advancing
national development, the program focuses on initiatives for both learners and educators.
For the learners, STEM+ PH will host our favorite Quiz Bee, create exciting STEM Labs,
and build a community of Youth Citizen Scientists.
This strand will develop the students’ ability to evaluate simple to complex
societal problems and be responsive and active in the formulation of its solution

through the application and integration of scientific, technological, engineering,
and mathematical concepts as it prepares them to pursue college degrees that
focuses on the enigma of the natural world thereby leading them to become
future scientists, technological analysts and experts, engineers, mathematicians,
programmers, and the like.
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics and refers to any
subjects that fall under these four disciplines. Because these things are never straightforward,
there are also dozens of alternative versions of STEM (including STEAM, STREAM and
METALS) but STEM is by far the most widely-used.
The acronym originates from discussions about the lack of qualified graduates to work in
high-tech jobs in the US. Since its creation, governments and universities around the world
have made attracting students to STEM courses a priority, in order to address this shortfall. In
some cases, it’s also easier to immigrate to another country if you studied a STEM subject at
degree level and are looking for work in that field.
DEFINITION
WhatIs.com
In the United States, the program helps immigrants with skills in the
STEM subjects obtain work visas. In addition, STEM focuses on
perceived education quality shortcomings in these fields, with the aim of
increasing the supply of qualified high-tech workers.
Educators break STEM down into seven standards of practice (or skill
sets) for educating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
students:
Integrate content
Engage in inquiry
Collaborate as a team
In conclusion, STEM education is critical to help the United States remain a world leader. If STEM
education is not improved, the United States will continue to fall in world ranking with math and
science scores and will not be able to maintain its global position. STEM education in school is
important to spark an interest in pursuing a STEM career in students. However, teachers do not carry
the whole burden of STEM education. Parents also must encourage their children to pursue STEM
activities and increase awareness and interest at home and in extracurricular activities of the merits of
STEM education.

Bauan Technical High School
STUDENTS moving up to senior high school are encouraged to take the science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) strand to help the country be a leader in
innovation and competitiveness.
National ICT Confederation of the Philippines (NICP) president Antonio del Carmen
described the senior high students taking Stem courses as the “future of the country” with
the rise of technological disruptions.
DESCRIPTION
Attitudinal data were gathered from 364 high school students participating in a
residential science and mathematics program on a university campus in which
participating students finish their last 2 years of high school in conjunction with
their first 2 years in college. Instruments employed assessed dispositions toward
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) content and careers.
Dispositions were analyzed in comparison to data gathered on the same
instruments from other groups of students and teachers. Findings included that the
residential early admissions students had STEM dispositions more similar to
STEM professionals and less similar to traditional high school students. Analyses
of disaggregated data characteristics based on attributes such as gender are also
presented.
