Abstract

In today's world, along with the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of innovation and digitalization for economic growth raises the value of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education due to its contribution to knowledge generation, application, and distribution. Higher education students in STEM fields represent high-quality human capital because they are expertly aware, engage with industry, and incorporate commercial sensibilities into their daily research activity. So, the main goal of this study is to look at the current state of STEM fields in higher education and the labor market for university graduates from STEM fields. Also, the challenges facing STEM fields in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.
