The Need For STEM Education

STEM education opens the door to our understanding of the world by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation.

Proper STEM Education is the first step towards making our children smarter and help them start thinking deeply about the world.

Pursuing STEM education fosters intellectual growth and cultivates a keen sense of scientific bent of mind, enabling us to view the world in a more sophisticated and enlightened manner.

Although science and mathematics are taught in our schools, they are primarily presented with a utilitarian focus, i.e. to accumulate enough knowledge so the students can get a job. Those are not being taught to foster enlightenment and deeper understanding in the minds of our children.

The need for revamp of STEM Education in India has never been felt so much before. The wealth of data, research, and survey reports unequivocally underline the urgent imperative to modernize and revamp STEM Education in India.

NASSCOM REPORT - "Reimagining STEM Education - Student Survey", Published in August 2021

The report unveiled critical insights regarding the urgent need for reform in STEM Education across India. A few key insights from the report are as follows:

• Less than 07% students are satisfied with their education

• 80% of students feel that practical/application-based learning is lagging

• Students feel strongly about ‘interdisciplinary learning’ as a key contributor for a successful career

• 72% of students want to incorporate ways to “encourage out of the box thinking” and make the education “application-based”

• 73% of students believe Critical thinking skills are important but not being taught

These revelations strongly align with the mission, vision, and strategy of STEMSootra.

What We Need To Do

To revamp and modernize STEM education in India, we must all unite and contribute to this vital objective. This endeavor requires the collective efforts of all stakeholders in education: educators, students, parents, industry leaders, institutions, and policymakers. STEMSootra invites you to join us in driving a STEM education revolution in India.

The Need Of The Hour Is To:

Create Awareness About The Importance Of STEM Education in India

Particularly among parents, as they are their children's first teachers. When parents are informed and supportive, children thrive.

Create A Mass Movement To Revolutionize STEM Education in India

As only widespread collective action can bring about significant change and challenge the status-quo.

Connect Every Stakeholder Of STEM Education And Bring Them on A Common Platform

To share ideas, strategies and best practices, thereby strengthening STEM Education.

Democratize STEM Education

The movement for a STEM Education revolution will not be complete until every student is impacted, regardless of their social status.

Make STEM Education Affordable

Although STEM education can be costly, we must continuously find ways to make it affordable and accessible to all for maximum positive impact.

Shift public focus from SCORE -CENTRIC EDUCATION to SKILLS BASED EDUCATION

As good marks don't bring success,

Good Skills do.

Our goal is to promote skills-based education to nurture a generation of forward-thinking leaders equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world and drive positive change, irrespective of the profession they choose to pursue.

We Need A Systematic Approach

Understanding the critical need to revolutionize STEM education in India, we must build a system that not only complements but elevates school education, ensuring that children achieve comprehensive and holistic development.

STEMSootra aims to create a system which can:

Make Learning STEM Disciplines Fun - The Joy Of Learning

The joy of learning is the essence of education. We aim to cultivate an environment where students can unleash their creativity and learn joyfully.

Create Awareness About STEM Ed & Holistic Development

It is the need of the hour to create awareness that traditional schooling alone is inadequate and can limit a child's true potential.

Address The Drawbacks of the Traditional Education System

Advocates for skills-based learning as an enhancement to traditional education, emphasizing experiential learning.

Where All The Stakeholders Of Education Can Share Ideas

A platform that serves as a cornerstone for building a community of all stakeholders, laying the foundation for the STEM revolution in India.

Inspire Children To Achieve Their Best Potential

Empowering children to reach their fullest potential through inspirational learning systems and top notch support system.

Focus On Developing Crucial Cognitive Skills In Students

A system dedicated to fostering essential cognitive skills in students in order to prepare them to face the challenges of the world with confidence.

Create Multiple Touch Points For Reinforcement

A system that creates multiple touch-points for reinforcing learning, ensuring solid and comprehensive understanding.

Makes STEM Ed Affordable and Accessible To All

For maximum impact, STEM education must be accessible to all; without this accessibility, meaningful transformation cannot be achieved.
