answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling our shortage of STEM skills so we can grow the workforce that a dynamic and growing economy continues to require. The Department is doing this by investing £406 million to increase pupil participation in maths, digital and technical education. This includes a new post-16 maths premium and a new £84 million programme to improve the teaching of computing – both of which should encourage increased take-up of these subjects.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has committed to improving STEM careers advice in schools in the recently published Careers Strategy. The Department is also widening the pool of young people that consider engineering as a career through the Year of Engineering campaign, which will showcase the variety and creativity of modern engineering.</p><p> </p><p>To improve the development of technical STEM skills, the Department is introducing T levels, which will be developed with employers, and provide progression opportunities into skilled work or higher level study, including degrees.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to raising both the standard of, and pupil participation in, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at all stages of education.</p><p> </p><p>As my Rt hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced at the 2017 autumn budget, we are investing an additional £33 million to expand the Teaching for Mastery mathematics programme and will introduce a new premium for 16-19 providers of up to £600 per additional student studying advanced mathematics qualifications. The Government has also invested an additional £84 million to improve the teaching of computing and drive up participation in computer science</p><p> </p><p>To improve the development of technical STEM skills, the Government is introducing a national system of 15 technical routes, which will include digital, engineering and manufacturing. The new T levels, which will be developed with employers, will provide progression opportunities into skilled work or higher level study, including degrees. Together with the work already underway to reform the apprenticeships system including STEM apprenticeships, they will provide a reformed, comprehensive and high quality technical option.</p>
