STEM (science,

technology, engineering,
and mathematics)
STEM is an educational program developed to
prepare primary and secondary students for
college and graduate study in the fields of
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM). In addition to subject-
specific learning, STEM aims to foster
inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and
collaboration skills.

In the United States, the program helps

immigrants with skills in the STEM subjects
obtain work visas. In addition, STEM focuses
on perceived education quality shortcomings
in these fields, with the aim of increasing the
supply of qualified high-tech workers.
Educators break STEM down into seven
standards of practice (or skill sets) for
educating science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics students:

Learn and apply content

Integrate content
Interpret and communicate information
Engage in inquiry
Engage in logical reasoning
Collaborate as a team
Apply technology appropriately

Humanities and Social

Sciences (HUMSS)
Strand
The HUMMS strand is designed for those who
wonder what is on the other side of the wall.
In other words, you are ready to take on the
world and talk to a lot of people. This is for
those who are considering taking up
journalism, communication arts, liberal arts,
education, and other social science-related
courses in college.

If you take this strand, you could be looking

forward to becoming a teacher, a
psychologist, a lawyer, a writer, a social
worker, or a reporter someday. This strand
focuses on improving your communication
skills. Oh! And priesthood is a choice in here
too!
