8. The Government is committed to driving wider participation in STEM and that a more diverse range of people enter the science and technology workforce by 2030. To achieve this, the Department for Education is working on a cross-Government action plan with the Home Office, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Department for Business and Trade and the Cabinet Office. Initial work will include: analysing the relevant data to develop a comprehensive understanding of the supply of, and demand for, science and technology skills for the technologies that we intend to prioritise; taking forward the Prime Minister’s ambition for all young people to study mathematics to 18; working across Government, the education sector and employers, to develop the pipeline of individuals entering priority computing and digital sectors; finding and attracting the next generation of Artificial Intelligence leaders from around the world; and continuing to roll out a network of 21 employer-led Institutes of Technology helping to widen participation in higher technical training.
