In addition, the use of learning outcomes increases the coherence of the teaching-learning model centered on the student since it establishes a link between content of learning,training activities and techniques, evaluation methodologies and final outputs.In this way, learning outcomes are of interest: a) for universities when they carry out thedefinition of their qualifications and the training of their students, essentially through theirsubjects; b) at the national level when the definition of the framework for qualifications orexternal evaluation and quality assurance; and c) in the international arena with the purpose

Recommendations for future changesTo enhance higher education in SET subjects the following steps may be necessary: a. Make a thorough assessment of STEM education at school and hence determine suitable steps that must be taken to improve STEM education at this level. b. It will be a major advantage if the medium of teaching at high school is converted from local languages to English as the students can benefit from freely available online materials. c.
