While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education has been a priority, by 2025, the Department of Education is expected to fully embrace STEAM, which includes the Arts. This holistic approach recognizes the importance of creativity and innovation in scientific and technological fields.
STEAM initiatives may include:
- Interdisciplinary projects combining arts and sciences
- Partnerships with arts organizations and tech companies
- Funding for STEAM-focused schools and programs
- Professional development for teachers in STEAM methodologies
This shift aims to produce well-rounded graduates capable of innovative thinking across disciplines.
