STEM Subjects: Employment
Wednesday 17th April 2024

Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool, Riverside)

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to increase diversity and inclusion in the STEM workforce.

Answered by Andrew Griffith - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

The Science and Technology Framework sets out our commitment to expanding STEM opportunities to as diverse a range of people as possible.

The Government is inspiring people from all backgrounds through continued funding and support of the CREST Awards, STEM Ambassador programme, and our AI and Data Science Conversion Course and scholarship programme.

The Government has consistently emphasised how essential it is to build mathematical capabilities in the UK, and the Prime Minister announced last year an ambition for all young people to study maths to age 18. We are also committed to supporting the establishment of new Academy focussed on the Mathematical Sciences, helping the sector in a long-term and sustainable way.
