A STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) pilot programme will be rolled out in over 40 schools when the new academic year begins next month.

Education Minister Fayval Williams says preparatory work for the programme is being carried out during the summer break.

Mrs. Williams says over 40 teachers have been selected for the related stem subject areas.  

She was speaking at the Jamaica Teachers Association (JTA) annual conference in Negril Westmoreland.
