Abstract

In this chapter we focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in the United Kingdom. We examine government policy and describe various strategies and programmes that have been designed and implemented with a view to improving the system. The UK, and particularly England, provides a case study of high stakes accountability regimes. Root and branch reforms have seen major changes in curriculum and assessment at a number of levels as well as an attempt to impose a national pedagogic strategy.
