  STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) and not STME or Science, Technology, Mathematics Education as you put it. Politicians and administrators pay lip-service to high pronouncements without walking the talk. Engineering and Technology involve the application of scientific knowledge, the application of science and mathematics for solving human problems through innovation, inventions and creativity. Let secondary schools hold more science and technology fairs and competitions to trigger their imaginative minds. Basic things like technical drawing, metalwork, woodwork, home science or economics, bricklaying, agric etc should be taken serious in schools. Our teachers should be encouraged to write more books in science and mathematics, and our public libraries should be revived and well maintained. Schools should be well stocked with books in their libraries.
