STEM and STEAM education, and disciplinary integration: a guide to informed policy action
STEM education is crucial for individuals’ empowerment, well-being, active and responsible citizenship, and for industrial innovation and competitiveness.

Integrated STEM, STEAM and STE(A)M approaches focus on disciplinary integration to equip individuals with adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Adopting integrated approaches to STEM for an educational system is crucial for designing an effective curriculum, training teachers, and defining learning outcomes to track students progress.
