Abstract
The section of concluding remarks indicates the situation where advances in STEM research and development are core to economic growth and the creation and growth of new industries and thus STEM fields are widely acknowledged as essential for global economic competitiveness in the twenty-first century. Although STEM education is regarded as indispensable for future development, collaboration with other disciplines like humanities and social sciences and educational reform become important. Many of such educational reform strategies outlined in this volume are relatively new and driven by long-term visions. These projects will take time to implement and we will have to closely monitor such efforts to reveal the effectiveness of reform driven by modern STEM needs.
