“Our Children are the most important assets of our country; they deserve at
least the heritage that was passed to us…a level of mathematics, science
and technology education that is the finest in the world, without sacrificing the
American birthright of personal choice, equity and opportunity.”

HERE IN TEXAS
Texas currently has 466,570 employed in scientific and technical
positions (source: TWC)
The average high tech wage is $68,387 versus the average private
sector wage of $35,695 (source NACE)
BUT:
•Less than 15% of high school graduates have enough math and science to
pursue scientific/technical degrees in college
•1 out of 4 math teachers have a math background
•1 out of 5 science teachers have a science background
•Only 2 out of 100 high school graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree
•Only 5 out of 1000 female graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree
•Only 5 out of 1000 African American and Hispanic high school graduates will
obtain an engineering degree

“Ensuring college readiness and workforce readiness must be one of the
primary aims of education. With the undeniable march towards a global,
technology-based economy, that means our secondary schools must place a
greater premium on science and math education.” –Gov. Rick Perry
