A quarter thought the plan was an essential move to improve STEM teaching standards, whole 20 per cent worrried that it wouldn’t be enough to address braoader deficiencies in STEM knowledge in scools. Only 6 per cent thought the move was unnecessary government posturing, while 5 per cent declined to pick an option.
