THE EDITOR, Sir:
Professor Stephen Vascianne, president of University of Technology (UTech), made a valued point regarding the important of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
But society cannot live by STEM alone.
In 2015, The Student Loan Bureau (SLB) came under public scrutiny for allegedly priorizing loans to STEM students. The argument was made for the Government to "establish a special scholarship fund to attract students in the field of STEM, and for individuals to pursue one's own passion in life".
