Through enhancing the A-level pupils’ engagement with the subjects, and increasing their exposures to the university network, the Levelling Up Scheme aims to increase the diversity of students pursuing STEM degrees and, eventually, careers. It is crucial that everyone who wants to study these subjects is given the opportunity, regardless of gender, ethnicity or economic status, for the continued health of the subject and for the benefit of society as a whole in providing a richer, more diverse STEM community.
