How to get schoolkids to choose to go into Electronics Engineering.

   A person might want to include (at least) some Diversity / Inclusion dynamics;   what it is, where it is being 'deployed'.   That's also 'equity' based as well, using the DEI handle.
Who gets the equity boost ca$h granted, etc.  Maybe region by region, where things sit, currently, in the D.E.I. push.
   I'd appreciate, also, if you would give an intro that 'includes' those who get a bit 'put-off' by the new rules, somewhat unclear.   Actually, rules that are very 'clear' to understand might not be so visable.
   Explain how D.E.I. and Climate Activism 'intersect'.   When the student gets confused, over the materials, and the relevance, you should offer a sampling, of newer University curriculum, with tons of real examples.

   When others object, to any relevance, then SHOW them the real amounts, budgets etc. involved today.

   Preparation can't hurt.   Personally,  I believe the Climate Change aspects, of technology future, are going to be huge, as it's a huge and very visible problem...diversity or no.

Wow.  I had no idea EEs were so undervalued (or is it oversupplied?) in the UK.  Is this a worldwide thing?

Electronics engineers in the UK are not highly valued, as the country has abandoned being an industrial power. The oversupply is because the demand is so low, even a handful of people studying electronics is more than the UK can absorb. Most people either study electronics because the maths and control theory is valued by the finance industry, or because they want to work abroad. 50 years ago, when I was at uni, the vast majority of graduate electronics engineers went into some kind of electronics work. 30 years ago at the top tier colleges this had already dropped to only a handful going into electronics. Now even the low tier colleges are not realistically training people for a life in electronics.

I'd like to hear more, if you have more thoughts, on the UK industry and economy.
