This is Science.

Scientific study brings immense value to society. The sector's significant contribution to the UK economy is acknowledged by the UK government for the important part it plays in enhancing the health and wellbeing of the population. Science education equips individuals with problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills highly valued by employers.

The Skills Gap.

The "Science Skills Gap" refers to a shortage of individuals with the necessary skills to fill roles in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) fields. This gap exists because the demand for these skills is growing faster than the supply of qualified candidates.
