Congress finds the following: The National Center for Education Statistics found that high school students from 29 nations performed better in math than high school students from the United States. High school students from 22 nations performed better in science than high school students from the United States. It is the sense of Congress that— the United States should be at the forefront of education for science, technology, engineering, and math (in this section referred to as STEM ); students in low income and rural areas have limited access to STEM resources; teachers should have high-quality professional development opportunities in STEM to increase their content knowledge and improve student learning; and teacher professional development should provide strategies for integrating STEM education across all demographics.
