NEW FUNDING TO INSPIRE BLACK AND MINORITY ETHNIC STUDENTS
NEW FUNDING to inspire black and minority ethnic school students to get involved in science, technology, and engineering was recently announced by Alistair Darling, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
The funding for 19 schools across the country is worth up to £20,000 per school over the next two years, with a total allocation of nearly £1.5m in the years 2005- 08. The Science Technology, and Engineering grants were announced as part of National Science and Engineering Week at an event at the Natural History Museum.
Alistair Darling said: "It is vital for the UK's future that young people from all backgrounds are inspired by science, technology, and engineering. There should be no subjects which are off limits to any of our students.
