THE K-12 education system which our country adopted in 2015, as we know, consists also of junior and senior high school. The Senior High School covers core curriculum and tracks with alternative programs of study referred to as strands. The STEM strand covers academic programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. STEM is given a boost by the annual international film festival which is usually scheduled beginning in October to December—an initiative of Goethe Institut, the Federal Republic of Germany’s cultural institute promoting the study of German language abroad and encouraging international cultural exchange, which is headquartered in Munich.
