SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

AND NATION BUILDING

Introduction

• Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) plays an important role

in economic and social progress. It is a key driver of the long-term
growth of an economy.
• It can lead to the creation of new public goods and services (or
new methods of delivering public goods and services) that will help
address the needs of society.
DOST- SCIENCE FOR CHANGE PROGRAM

The Science for Change Program (S4CP) was created to accelerate STI
in the country in order to keep up with the developments in our time
wherein technology and innovation are game changers. Through the
Science for Change Program (S4CP), the DOST can significantly
accelerate STI in the country and create a massive increase in
investment on S&T Human Resource Development and R&D.

SCIENCE EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

• Under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the Science

Education Institute (SEI) is the sub-agency which is mandated to undertake
science education and training, administer scholarships, awards and grants,
undertake S&T manpower development and formulate plans and establish
programs and projects for the promotion and development of S&T education
and training in coordination with DepEd, CHED and other institutions of
learning (Executive Order 128).
SEI PROGRAMS & PROJECTS

• undergraduate and graduate scholarship grants and research grants

• establishment of the Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS)
• implementation of the Special Science Elementary Schools (SSES)
