According to the Minister of Science, Technology & Innovation, Datuk Seri Dr. Adham Baba, the percentage of STEM student must increase to 60% to ensure the country has an adequate supply of talent pool in the country. Citing the Education Ministry's 2020 Annual Report, the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said the percentage of students in STEM was 47.18%, with 20.51% involving Pure Science, while the remaining 26.67% was for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). KIDCADTECH is a series of hand’s-on teaching and learning kits for stem subjects. The kits are to solve the problem among teachers and students. The negative reactions in High School Stem Subject, Reka Bentuk Teknologi (RBT), are pretty common, particularly for Form 1 and 2. The failing grades among the RBT students yearly is a factual statistic. The teachers and students have stated that they do not have suitable teaching aids for many topics in the RBT subjects. This issue is monumental. If we don't address these complaints, we will see further downgrades of our GDP in the coming years since research has concluded that 70% of GDP has been primarily attributed to the STEM workforce.
