INTEREST in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has been declining in Malaysia and this does not bode well for a country trying to gain developed nation status.
Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) senior fellow, academician Datuk Dr Aini Ideris said interest in STEM among students has been waning and this is a cause for concern, especially with the emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) and a growing demand for talent in STEM-related fields.
