Should this occur @ scale (doubtful) ...It would be the most important reform in the sector since Joshua's "Free Education"
Not that most people would be aware of the huge significance
Thwaites happy, industry leaders to spur growth of STEM academies
Monday, May 04, 2015
EDUCATION MINISTER Ronald Thwaites has appointed several industry leaders to spearhead the transformation of selected technical high schools into Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM academies that will produce people qualified for employment in several sectors of the economy.
A STEM academy is generally an institution that uses science, technology, engineering and mathematics as the base for the structuring and time-tabling of its programmes. In the upper school -- grades 10 and 11 -- students will be offered competency-based training to make them "job ready". In the lower grades STEM, along with Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), will be emphasised in the curriculum. Over time the school is expected to be transformed into a STEM Academy, the ministry said
