Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths key to national devt – STEM Stakeholders

Industry players have once again talked about the urgent need for students to become interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM, and add that these three themes are key to national development. They urged government, parents and teachers to stimulate their pupils' interest in scientific issues, noting that developed countries did not build bridges with sports, but rather through science, technology, engineering and mathematics.




They postulated that the Ministry of Education could rework the educational curriculum and reorganize the structural system in such a way as to emphasize STEM, noting that without that, things will remain as they are in this country. At the STEM organized and sponsored symposium sponsored by Agbami for 2017, STEM organized and sponsored the advancement of STEM education in Nigeria, actors present at the Lagos Business School stripped their minds, putting the future of education scientist in the foreground.

Communication Manager of Chevron Business in Nigeria, Mr. Shola Adebawo urged stakeholders to stimulate children's interest in science and not to see STEM as difficult issues, emphasizing STEM is in everyday life and stakeholders should create awareness for students to develop a passion for it. The structural system According to him, what this country could do is to ensure that everyone has a role to play in conducting a sustainable scientific education, stating: "We can rework the education curriculum and reorganize the structural system in such a way of emphasizing STEM. " Teachers, he added, need to teach STEM in such a way that they attract students to subjects, and not run away from it, nor see STEM as difficult. Adebawo who revealed Agbami's position in STEM education, noted that Agbami is sponsoring the symposium and series of activities in support of the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. He explained that because of his passion for science, the Agbami parties have offered scholarships to boost science education in schools and have also invested in important educational infrastructures, particularly in science education infrastructure. He said: "We have invested in 33 fully equipped science laboratories in different schools in different states around the country.

I have traveled all over the world for scientific exhibits and I see their curriculum and it is not about him, but actually what they do. The infrastructure here is a major deficit in Nigeria.
