STEM is an acronym that refers collectively to the academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In response to the changing needs in our society and the rapid economic, scientific and technological developments in the 21st century, it is essential to promote STEM education and hence equip our students with the capability to meet the changes and challenges in society and around the world.
To better prepare our students for the rapid economic, scientific and technological developments ahead, STEM education is being promoted as a key emphasis in the ongoing renewal of the school curriculum that is essential for their lifelong learning and whole-person development.
Apart from cultivating students’ interest in Science, Technology and Mathematics, and developing among them a solid knowledge base, we aim to strengthen students’ ability to integrate and apply knowledge and skills across different STEM disciplines, and to nurture their creativity, collaboration and problem solving skills, as well as to foster their innovation and entrepreneurial spirit as required in the 21st century. Through the promotion of STEM education, we aim to nurture a versatile pool of talents with different sets and levels of skills to enhance the competitiveness of our students.
