Ministry for Education and Skills of Ireland: STEM Education Policy Statement 2017-2026

The Irish government have set themselves the goal to become the best education and training service in Europe by 2026. This Policy Statement focusses on the many strengths in STEM education while providing a roadmap to address the areas for development. This is a challenge that requires many stakeholders to work together. It is also about encouraging and inspiring more of our young people, particularly more females, to specialise in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics during their education and training so as to open the doors to exciting and fulfilling jobs, careers and life opportunities.
