H.Res. 867 is a ceremonial resolution that designates November 8, 2025, as "National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day." The resolution acknowledges that over 10 million Americans currently work in STEM fields, with job growth projected at 10 percent through 2032, while highlighting concerning gaps in student preparedness and workforce diversity—only 15 percent of students met STEM readiness benchmarks in 2023, and racial and ethnic minorities remain significantly underrepresented in STEM careers. The resolution calls on the House of Representatives to recognize the importance of STEM education across all pathways (including apprenticeships and four-year degrees), encourage businesses to support schools and afterschool STEM programs, and urge federal agencies to collaborate in funding comprehensive STEM education ecosystems. There is no funding authorized or specific timeline beyond establishing this single day of recognition; the resolution simply urges Americans to observe the designated day with appropriate educational activities and programs.
