Promoting Racial and Ethnic Equality in STEM
ministration’s (ESA) third and final report on science, tech- nology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs and education today at a Brookings Institution forum on advancing STEM education in the United States. Education Supports Racial and Ethnic Equality in STEM analyzes the demographic composition and educational background of STEM workers, looking at representation disparities within these critical fields that promote U.S. innovation and economic competi- tiveness.
A Findings suggest that across all racial and ethnic groups,
higher college graduation rates are associated with higher shares of STEM workers, and these workers earn substantial wage premiums over their non-STEM counterparts, regard- less of their background. Non-Hispanic Whites and Asians have much higher college graduation rates than Hispanics, non-Hispanic Blacks and other racial and ethnic groups (in- cluding American Indians and Alaska Natives), and are more prominently represented in STEM jobs. With greater equality in educational attainment, the report finds that de- mographic disparities within the STEM workforce can be diminished, helping to boost STEM employment and U.S. leadership in technology and innovation. “ESA’s final report shows the value of higher education
as a gateway to high-quality, high-paying STEM jobs,” Blank said. “Our competitiveness as a nation depends on our ability to prepare America’s students for the jobs of tomor- row. That’s why the Obama Administration is so strongly committed to strengthening STEM training in the U.S.” The President’s fiscal year 2012 budget proposes $206
million in STEM training programs. This includes funding for the U.S. Department of Education to develop teacher training in grades K-12 around STEM-related topics, as well as funding for the National Science Foundation to conduct research on effective teacher training in STEM fields. Launched in 2009, the Educate to Innovate campaign is also designed to improve U.S. students’ participation and perfor- mance in STEM subject areas, particularly focused on wom- en and underrepresented demographic groups. In January 2010, as part of this effort, more than $250 million in public- private investments were made to help prepare 10,000 new math and science teachers and to provide additional training to more than 100,000 existing teachers.
