Mission Statement


1. The STEMiteracy educational initiative aims to restore true literacy as the building block of successful STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and successful education.


2. STEMiteracy empowers all students with the learning know-how and tools required to become able learners, therefore becoming competent in life and in their chosen fields.


3. STEMiteracy seeks to make the world of STEM universally accessible to anyone with an interest in it, thus opening the doors to many learners who, due to a skill gap in their reading and writing skills, may not have considered themselves able enough to study a STEM subject, let alone have a career in STEM.


True literacy and accompanying learning know-how is the cornerstone to success not only in STEM education, but in all educational endeavours. Restoring these abilities in every student will create a renaissance in the field of education not seen for a long time.


STEMiteracy Outcomes


  • STEMiteracy opens the door to a new era in STEM education and the wider field of education, where application of new educational principles rooted in philosophy restores to students the ability to observe and to think, to learn and to study with an ability to apply the information and the knowledge that they have learned. The focus is wholly on ability, comprehension and successful application, and not on students 'memorising to pass exams'.


  • Students who wish to study STEM subjects but who may have previously believed themselves unable to succeed in STEM will discover that they can indeed develop the ability to learn these subjects, and do well in them.


  • Reduction in STEM subjects dropouts.


  • STEMiteracy moves away from the modern Western educational methods based on both the 19th century Prussian educational system of making compliant soldiers and on Wilhelm Wundt’s introduction, in 1879, of the then new subject of 'psychology' which focusses wholly on animal behaviour and moulding the individual to a fixed, controllable pattern, instead of developing ability, knowledge and free thinking (a violent move away from philosophy and religion which have always been the home of education and knowledge).
