Why STEM Matters Today ?
-
Student participation in the STEM stream at the upper secondary level has increased from 45.7% in 2023 to 50.8% in 2024.
-
However, this improvement is still slow.
-
Malaysia aims to achieve a 60:40 ratio of STEM to non-STEM students in secondary education.


-
In 2022, Malaysia recorded the highest percentage of STEM graduates among other countries, with 40.2% of higher education graduates holding degrees in STEM fields.
-
This illustrates the increasing need of manpower in stem field
-
STEM equips students with problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation abilities essential for the future workforce.
