There are two(2) key reasons. First, STEM and Entrepreneurship have been proven as economic drivers which ties strongly to our mission of accelerating Africa’s development by educating its growth drivers. Second, the worrisome yet increasing rate of unemployment and underemployment in Africa requires us to focus on in-demand skills and industries
STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - and it captures the skills and disciplines that can be found in these fields. Some STEM degree programs include computer science, statistics, mathematics, and some engineering courses.
Without a huge investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, Africa’s development will continue to be impeded. Indeed, given the complexity facing the developing world, economic growth, and improvements in the standard of living will continue to rely on innovations and technological breakthroughs.
