"STEM education"

We will explain the meaning of STEM education.

What is STEM education?

STEM education is an education that focuses on the four academic fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. By acquiring knowledge and skills in the science fields from an early age, the aim is to cultivate human resources who can adapt to the IT and global society of the future and contribute to the development of science and technology.

STEM education has been introduced in countries around the world, including the United States, and is a government-led education. While emerging countries in Europe and Asia are also putting effort into STEM education, Japan currently lags far behind other countries. As a result, the Japanese government has made programming education compulsory in elementary schools from the 2020 academic year. In addition, the government is promoting the establishment of related research institutes such as the Japan Society for STEM Education and supporting Super Science High Schools.

The challenges facing STEM education in Japan include the lack of established teaching methods and a shortage of teachers with sufficient knowledge and skills. Future improvements are expected, including improvements to teaching structures and IT environments.
