Solution to the Problems Militating Against Entrepreneurial STM Education
The solutions to the problems militating against entrepreneurial STM education are as follows:
(1) STM policies as specified in the national policy on education must be implemented, supervised, and
evaluated by those concerned with STM education. The development of intellectual, manipulative, social, and
other skills that will ensure self-fulfilled and self-reliant citizens should be the watchword;
(2) Properly equipped laboratories must be provided in schools. These laboratories should have enough
equipment, materials, and even improvised materials;
(3) Laboratory technologists, technicians, and laboratory assistances should be provided and re-trained in
improvisation;
(4) Adequate fund should be allocated to education especially to STM education. Teachers’ salaries and
science allowances should be paid on time. Some of the money generated from the sales of the products should
be given to the students and the teachers to sustain their interest.
