创新推动了美国经济的发展，创造了良好的就业机会和高生活水平。然而，美国在创新型产业中所占的份额正在下降，危及我们作为世界创新领导者的地位。原因之一是美国一直无法培养出足够多具备科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）技能的本国工人。然而，尽管人们越来越关注如何增加 STEM 毕业生，但解决 STEM 挑战的主流方法尚未奏效，也不可能奏效。现在是时候采取基于推动 STEM 教育创新的新方法了。本报告讨论了现行方法的局限性，并概述了应对美国 STEM 挑战的新方法和具体政策建议。
Innovation has powered America’s economy, creating good jobs and a high standard of living. Yet, the U.S. share of innovation-based industries is in decline, jeopardizing our status as the world’s innovation leader. And one reason is that the United States has been unable to produce enough of its own workers with sufficient skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). However, while there is increasing concern over how to increase STEM graduates, the prevailing approaches to solving the STEM challenge have not worked and are not likely to work. It is time for new approaches based on driving innovation in STEM education. This report discusses the limits of the prevailing approaches and outlines fresh approaches and specific policy recommendations to address America’s STEM challenge.
