A quality STEM education makes a difference — not only to the students it prepares but to the economy on a domestic and global scale. STEM disciplines foster curiosity and creativity while providing higher salaries and creating high-demand careers. Within the next decade, it is estimated that almost all of the 30 fastest-growing occupations will require at least an intermediate knowledge of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
So when looking at STEM education statistics in 2019, how does the US rank? Sadly, not so great.
According to the World Economic Forum,
40% of Chinese graduates finished a degree in STEM – twice the number of American grads.
To break it down further:
China had at least 4.7 million recent STEM grads as of 2016
India had 2.6 million as of 2017
The U.S. had 568,000
