New Zealand cuts funding for humanities, social sciences research to focus on STEM fields, sparking debate.
New Zealand's government has decided to cut all funding for humanities and social sciences research from the Marsden Fund, focusing instead on areas like physics, chemistry, engineering, and biomedical sciences.
The move aims to boost economic growth but has faced criticism from the Green Party and scientific organizations, who argue that social sciences are crucial for addressing societal issues and combating misinformation.
The changes will take effect from the 2025 funding round.
