Abstract
The last 10 years have seen repeated calls of increasing urgency regarding the importance of STEM and STEM education in the Caribbean regional economy (iNews Guyana, 2018; Mitchell, 2018; Warde & Sah, 2014). In 2019, the Journal of Education and Development in the Caribbean published a special issue entitled “STEM Education in the Caribbean: Challenges, Goals, and Possibilities”. In the Editorial to that special issue, we articulated four primary considerations regarding future regional efforts toward integrated STEM education policy and practice (Sweeney & George, 2019, pp. vii-x). The commentary below (i) offers our reflections on the quality and extent of progress toward this goal approximately 5 years after publication of that Editorial (2019–2024); (ii) highlights what we believe to be the key roles and responsibilities of STEM education scholars in the region; and (iii) provides recommendations for integrated STEM education research, policy, and practice in the Caribbean over the course of the next 5 years.
