The Odisha Government launched the 'state-model' of IBM and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in 258 schools of the state to facilitate education for girl students. According to the reports, the objective behind the state-model of IBM-STEM is to ensure the capacity-building of girls in digital literacy, career choice and life skills. An official statement released by the Chief Minister’s office stated that the IBM-STEM model will also help to improve the skills of teachers for better learning outcomes among students.
Reports suggest that these 258 schools in Odisha will emerge as skill learning places and act as role models for the remaining schools in the state.
Talking about the state-model, Chief Minister’s Office shared a post on its official social media handle stating, “Odisha Government has launched the State-model of the IBM STEM for Girls Programme in 258 schools to build the capacity of girls in digital fluency, career choice and life skills.” The post further added, “It will also improve skill of teachers for better learning outcomes among students.”
IBM and its partners will also work closely to build educational leadership at the schools (both district and state level). “Develop a pool of master trainers for leading the teacher capacity-building efforts, and aligning the state curriculum with National Education Policies (NEP) with particular emphasis on building 21st-century skills among learners,” it added.
The introduction of IBM STEM will ensure skill building among girl students for critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision making. It will also encourage girl students to opt for STEM Pathways as they move towards continuing their education and taking up a career.
