  • Science and other STEM branches (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at school and in colleges have importance in South Indian education systems, from an early level. This article explores why South India leans more towards science.

The article from MSN India discusses the trend of southern states in India, like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, showing a higher inclination towards science education compared to other regions. It highlights several factors contributing to this trend: historical emphasis on education, a cultural reverence for knowledge, and significant investments in educational infrastructure. The article points out that these states have a long-standing tradition of valuing education, which is reflected in their higher literacy rates and the establishment of premier educational institutions. Additionally, the proactive role of state governments in promoting science education through scholarships, research grants, and science fairs plays a crucial role. The piece also notes the influence of socio-economic factors, where education is seen as a pathway to better job opportunities, particularly in the IT and tech sectors, which are more developed in the south. This trend is further supported by the presence of numerous engineering colleges and the cultural narrative that encourages students to pursue STEM fields, leading to a cycle where success in these areas reinforces the focus on science education.
