The STEM Programme ReportDfES and DTI
• Published October 2006
• The result of 2 years’ work by Sir Alan Wilson and colleagues to map all the publicly-funded STEM initiatives
• Recommendations for:
- better co-ordination of STEM activity at local, regional and national level
- better co-ordination of public and non-public initiatives
- better targeted government spending
To be implemented by the National STEM Director

Key aim of the STEM Programme
To put in place arrangements for the next spending period (from April 2008) that will:
1. Improve attainment in STEM subjects, as measured by assessments at ages 14, 16 and 18
2. Increase engagement in STEM subjects, as measured by numbers opting to study for qualifications at Level 3 and above in STEM subjects, especially A Level Maths, Physics and Chemistry.

STEM programme
• Consulting widely and on track with plans for
o Establishing links with partner organisations
o Establishing the ‘British Library of STEM’
o Co-ordination of teachers’ CPD
o Co-ordination of enhancement and enrichment activity
o A clearer system for decisions on funding schemes
o Better guidance on STEM careers for students
o A co-ordinated approach to evaluation

Action 17 from the STEM Report
• By July 2007, reflecting advice from the National STEM Director, DfES and DTI will agree, with other funders, on no more than ten national schemes of STEM support for schools (excluding national teacher supply measures) that should receive national funding and endorsement; and on how particular existing schemes and funding streams should be rationalised to fit within this simpler framework, building on those which can contribute most to achieving our objectives at national level.

The strength of partnershipsPublic sector
• Primary and Secondary National Strategy • Specialist Schools with STEM specialisms• SETNET • National Centre for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics• Science Learning Centres
Not-for-profit sector• Royal Society• Royal Academy of Engineering • Association for Science Education • Advisory Committee for Mathematics Education• Engineering and Technology Board• Wellcome Trust • Gatsby Charitable Foundation
Private Sector • A range of businesses, especially in the pharmaceutical
and engineering industries

Better co-ordinationLocal delivery, with schools accessing STEM support directly through the web portal, or through local networks based on: specialist schools, SETPOINTS, Secondary National Strategy and LAs
Regional co-ordination, using regional STEM Support Centres, co-located where possible with regional Science Learning Centres and regional Maths co-ordinators, and with a close relationship with the Regional Development Agency
National co-ordination, involving a National STEM centre steered by key stakeholders in the public, not-for-profit and private sectors. Systematic planning of funding against national priorities. A common evaluation framework.
