While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4 percent, STEM jobs are expected to increase by21.4 percent.By this measure, future STEM jobs represent a huge opportunity to todays students. But, in fact, of the 3.8 million ninth graders in the U.S., only 233,000 end up choosing a STEM degree in college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This means only 6 percent of ninth graders will become STEM graduates. And of these graduates, women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields.These are alarming statistics. How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields? It isnt an easy task. Schools do not always adequately prepare students for these severe subjects, and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent. Nationally, only41 percentof initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields complete their degree in less than six years.In addition, social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields. A couple of years ago, I met amazing parents, both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps. They encouraged her to take an after-school science / robotics program. When she got there, she found she was outnumbered 6:1 by boys in the class. As the only girl, she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys club. Ironically, by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields, many complain about the lack of girls.Starting at an early age, even as young as kindergarten, we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science, computing, math and technology. We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field, they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them: parents, teachers, friends and family members.56. The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show that _.A. STEM jobs will be easily available in the futureB. boys have more advantages over girls in STEMC. the number of STEM students is rapidly decliningD. America will face serious shortage of STEM talents57. A large number of STEM students stop their studies when _.A. they get bored with the subjectsB. they cant stick to their hard studiesC. they feel they have learnt adequatelyD. they can easily find jobs in other fields58. From the passage we can learn that few girls enter the STEM fields partly because _.A. few STEM boys like to study with girls B. there is widespread prejudice against girlsC. most girls are bad at the required subjects D. most girls take little interest in STEM jobs59. In the writers opinion, what should we do now? A. Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs.B. Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs.C. Encourage more young children to take up STEM.D. Make people aware of the importance of STEM.BBannits Ltd, CardiffT212 Titan House, Cardiff Bay Business Centre, Titan Road, Cardiff, CF24 5BSKey features:Furnished or UnfurnishedWashing MachineCentral HeatingFull description:Great bedsit in the centre of Oxford near the Sackler Library.
