Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education 5-Year Strategic Plan

The
Plan begins by providing an overview of the im
portance of STEM education to American scientific
discovery and innovation, the need to better prepare
students for today’s jobs and those of the future, and
the importance of a STEM-literate society (section 2)
and also describes the current state of Federal
STEM education efforts (section 3). The document
then presents five priority STEM education
investment areas where a coordinated Federal strategy can
be developed, over five years, designed to lead
to major improvements in key areas. This increased coor
dination is expected to bring significant gains in
efficiency and coverage (section 4).

Also included in this plan are initial implementation
roadmaps in each of the priority STEM education
investment areas, proposing potential short-, medium-,
and long-term objectives a
nd strategies that might
help Federal agencies achieve the outlined goals (sect
ion 5). Additionally, throughout the document, the
plan highlights (1) key outcomes for the Nation a
nd ways Federal agencies can contribute, (2) areas
where agencies will play lead rol
es, thereby increasing accountability, (3) methods to build and share
evidence, and (4) approaches for decreasing fragmentation.
