The document discusses America's declining scientific leadership and competitiveness in science and technology. It notes that the US is training and retaining fewer scientists compared to countries like China. Several statistics are presented showing declining performance in areas like math, science and engineering education in the US compared to other nations. Reasons proposed for this decline include underfunding of education, difficulties obtaining student visas, and a perception that more opportunities now exist abroad. The document argues that strengthening STEM education is key to maintaining US innovation and security in the future.

EDUCATION AND WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY - Robin hood movement seeks equity and adequacy in funding from White house for CTE-TECH PREP Rigorous Programs of Study (R-POS) for the Nation’s P-20 education students & adults from White House.
At issue, contrary to OSTP’s Open Government Plan, public comments and specifically supporting enclosures related to the role of Career and Technical Education (formally, vocational education) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) were ignored and not appropriately incorporated into the public record by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Although delivered as parcel to the OSTP call for public comments, RE: PCAST STEM Meeting 10.22-23, 2009, Two Minute Public Comment Letter, the following items submitted by Brazell, et. al., were not included by OSTP-PCAST in the public record:
1) Co-author’s were redacted from the letter sent to PCAST;
2) The white paper delivered in the same document as the three minute testimony letter was redacted, while other’s giving testimony reflect their white papers and related research references in the PCAST public record;
3) 570 pages of powerpoint slides including research on select TECH PREP model CTE programs were not appropriately submitted to the public record including a) From STEM to TEAMS a US educational innovation strategy which unifies the houses of academia, vocational learning and the arts and b) US TEAMS Economic Development, S&T R&D, Workforce and Education Strategy for STEM, IT and Arts, A/V Technology and Communications Clusters; and,
4) Jim white paper is not reflected in the record, What is next long term growth strategy to face the financial crisis? Transdisciplinary places, industries, technologies, work and education.
The public record includes letters submitted to PCAST including Jim’s redacted response.

Day Fact Source 1 Each year, the National Women’s History Project selects a theme that highlights achievements by distinguished women in specific fields. The theme for 2013 is Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This year, we honor generations of women who, throughout history, have used their intelligence, imagination, and tenacity to make extraordinary contributions to the STEM fields. http://nwhp.org/whm/index.php 2 The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition advocates for policies to improve STEM education at all levels. The central mission of the coalition is to inform federal policymakers on STEM issues and serve as an advocate for the critical role that STEM education plays in U.S. competitiveness and future economic prosperity. http://www.stemedcoalition.org/wp- content/uploads/2010/05/Note-2012-Annual- Report-for-the-STEM-Education-Coalition.pdf 3 The Women's Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery was dedicated in 1997 and is a living memorial honoring all military women—past, present, and future. The memorial is the only major national memorial honoring women who have served in our nation's defense during all eras and in all services. Work on the memorial was in progress for 11 years. http://www.womensmemorial.org/ 4 A 2011 report by the U.S. Department of Commerce found only one in seven engineers was female. Additionally, women have seen no employment growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics jobs since 2000.
