Reducing Student Debt

A nationwide campaign to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education will be launched, with increased funding for STEM programs. Public-private partnerships will be established with tech companies and universities to enhance STEM curricula and provide real-world learning opportunities. Efforts will focus on increasing diversity in STEM fields by supporting programs for underrepresented groups.
