title = "System dynamics modelling to attract students to STEM",
abstract = "This paper demonstrates how a K-12 educational system can be modeled using system dynamics in order to recommend policies changes with the objective to increase the number of students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in high schools and beyond, as well as to improve students' performance in STEM subjects. Although we used data and variables from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) education system, the system dynamics model is applicable to many education systems in the world with minor modifications.",
