Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are critically important disciplines for modern society. They empower our citizens in so many important ways. Science and Mathematics provide answers to the fundamental questions of nature and enable us to understand the world around us. STEM disciplines of knowledge enable us to measure, analyse, design and advance our physical environment and enhance our quality of life, especially through developments in healthcare.

 

Expertise in STEM subjects is necessary to drive our economic ambitions, support innovation and provide the foundations for future prosperity. Knowledge-based economies are particularly dependent on the quality and quantity of STEM graduates. Modern democracies require scientifically-literate citizens in order to make well-informed decisions regarding major global issues such as climate change, sustainability, energy, and food security.

​

Providing STEM Education of the highest quality is essential if Kuwait is to deliver on its ambitions to be a hub of technological creativity and an innovation leader.

STEM Education and progression into STEM related employment is critically important to ensure the continuous development of a pipeline of talent to provide career possibilities for students who follow a STEM career pathway that is highlighted not only to students but also to parents.
