Training on STEM Curriculum Development for Primary and Secondary Schools
Course Overview
Strong STEM education at primary and secondary levels builds the foundation for innovation, technology adoption, and economic competitiveness. However, many school systems struggle with fragmented curricula, limited practical exposure, and weak alignment with future workforce needs.
This course equips participants with structured frameworks to design, revise, and implement integrated STEM curricula that combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through practical, inquiry-based, and project-based approaches. It emphasizes age-appropriate learning progression, teacher capacity, assessment design, and institutional scalability.
Participants will learn how to create engaging STEM pathways that build problem-solving skills, creativity, and analytical thinking while aligning with national education standards and workforce priorities.
