Abstract

In the current intense global technological competition, the issue of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education financial investment in China and the UK has received widespread attention, but there are still shortcomings in terms of investment scale, structure, and mechanism. This article analyzes the current situation and existing problems of STEM education financial investment in China and the UK. This article analyzes that China has overall deficiencies in investment scale, significant regional, stage, and disciplinary differences, imbalanced investment structure, weak investment in basic research, single investment mechanism, and low participation of social capital; There are regional disparities in investment in the UK, leading to an imbalance in educational re-sources. Based on this, this article proposes that China should expand the scale of investment, balance regional, stage, and disciplinary investment, strengthen basic research in-vestment, improve investment mechanisms, and broaden channels for social capital participation.
