Why Isn't STEM Taking Malaysia to Infinity and Beyond?

Kenneth Chai, STEM Educator & Co-Founder, The Learning Curve

Why Isn't STEM Taking Malaysia to Infinity and Beyond?

Despite the government's efforts to promote STEM education among students, are dwindling PISA scores and waning student interest signs that our approach needs to be re-evaluated? Tonight, we speak with Kenneth Chai about the myriad challenges that Malaysia encounters in advocating for a STEM future and how we can re-think our approach for the new age. Plus, we invite our listeners to look back on their own experiences in STEM, and whether they enjoyed it or not.
