SEC. 2. MATHEMATICAL AND STATISTICAL MODELING EDU-
CATION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The mathematics taught in schools, includ-
ing statistical problem solving and data science, is 
not keeping pace with the rapidly evolving needs of 
the public and private sector, resulting in a STEM 
skills shortage and employers needing to expend re-
sources to train and upskill employees. 
(2) According to the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, the United States will need 1,000,000 addi-
tional STEM professionals than it is on track to 
produce in the coming decade. 
(3) The field of data science, which is relevant 
in almost every workplace, relies on the ability to 
work in teams and use computational tools to do 
mathematical and statistical problem solving. 
(4) Many STEM occupations offer higher 
wages, more opportunities for advancement, and a 
higher degree of job security than non-STEM jobs. 
(5) The STEM workforce relies on computa-
tional and data-driven discovery, decision making, 
and predictions, from models that often must quan-
tify uncertainty, as in weather predictions, spread of 
disease, or financial forecasting.
