The Obama Administration launched an “Educate to Innovate†campaign this week that is focused on boosting the participation and achievement of students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
This campaign includes a partnership with the administration, leading companies, foundations, non-profits, and science and engineering societies. The administration plans to deploy a mix of strategies to highlight students’ success in STEM as a national priority. The attention to education stakeholder partnerships and STEM programs could lead to more opportunities for CTE, which already focuses on those areas.
The administration noted three broad goals:
• Increase STEM literacy so that all students can learn deeply and think critically in science, math, engineering, and technology.
• Move American students from the middle of the pack to top in the next decade.
• Expand STEM education and career opportunities for underrepresented groups, including women and girls.
