Teachers participating in the initiative will also receive specialised training to improve instructional delivery and practical learning outcomes.
Parents and students have welcomed the development, describing STEM education as a pathway to future employment opportunities.
Industry experts argue that increasing investment in technical and scientific education will help address skills gaps in key sectors of the economy.
Government remains optimistic that the programme will contribute significantly to national development goals while equipping students with skills required for the future workforce.
