This work illustrates how risk management can be applied to educational
systems in general, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) education in particular. The rationale for this approach
stems from the increased awareness of the importance and contribution of
STEM education to nations' economic growth and development. The coverage
begins with the challenges of STEM education systems, and concludes with
a thorough strategic risk response plan.
The text outlines a risk-management plan/program for STEM education in
Israel, based on the conceptions of five stakeholders groups: educators,
academics, industry professionals, military and philanthropic actors.
All of whom have expressed interest in promoting STEM education in the
high school/secondary education system.
The result, ultimately, presents an impressive, meaningful, and
practical understanding of the difficulties and challenges, together
with applicable modes of action, and a new horizon towards which STEM
Education should march.
