Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) For Development
Some disciplines are vital and unavoidable not only in an educational journey but also throughout the journey of man’s life and a major propellor of National development. Quiet unfortunately those disciplines turn to be the very school children prefer to avoid in their studies mainly because of the “myth” surrounding them.
The most vital disciplines that are inevitable in the educational journey and that of life are Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM).
As part of Frantomapa’s core mandate of nurturing critical thinkers and innovators for national development, “STEM FOR DEVELOPMENT” has been created to break the “myth” that surrounds the studying of these very important educational disciplines.
The Modus Operandi for implementing STEM are as follows:
1. Occasional Counselling for Basic, Junior, and Senior High School students across the nation on the merits of studying STEM and to eradicate the myth that it’s only reserved for very few brilliant people.
2. Frequent organization of Quiz competition between schools on mainly STEM courses to reduce fear for STEM among school children
* The first STEM quiz was held at Adenta Municipality between St. Francis JHS, Adenta Community JHS, Abubakar Sidiq JHS and Adjirganor JHS all in the Greater Accra Region. St. Francis JHS Emerged the winner.
3. Education tours: With STEM being practical disciplines, occasional educational tours for students who lack this basic necessity in their schools will go a long way to encourage the love for the disciplines
Frantomapa Educational Aid believes the only way for Ghana to rapidly catch up with already developed countries in the world is to invest in children by giving them the necessary education that will enable them to compete with the outside world in a positive manner.
Frantomapa Educational Aid has opened her doors to individuals, institutions, and other charity organizations that believes in nurturing critical thinkers and innovators to come on board to help achieve the vision.
