57%of test takers failed to interpret the basic scientific data.
> 25%of students in some countries that participated in these researches weren't able to process unstructured text and numerical information whilst reading.
In 2001US National Science Foundation introduced the term STEM-education and highlighted the importance of the implementation of this approach for the sake of economical development.
3,5 millionof vacancies in STEAM sphere are to be filled up by 2025 in the United States alone. Moreover, 2 million of them (which stands for 57%) will remain unoccupied because of insufficient number of qualified applicants.
