Did you
know, according to US Department of Education, that only 16 percent of American
high school seniors are proficient in math and interested in a STEM career? Even
among those who do go on to pursue a college major in the STEM fields, only
about half choose to work in a related career. The United States is falling
behind internationally, ranking 29th in math and 22nd in science among
industrialized nations. What’s more, a recent survey revealed that only 29
percent of Americans rated this country’s K-12 education in STEM subjects as
above average or the best in the world. In our competitive global economy, this
situation is unacceptable.
