"PUEO Pushes For Imiloa Uka In Final TMT Case Document"

I'm not against this in principle, it seems a fine idea to me. The only issue I have is:

"The group also wants to see, as a condition, the development a plan “to implement and extend early entry programs for at-risk children of Hawaiian ancestry and other at-risk youth in the community at UH Hilo,” which will provide educational opportunities in STEM-related and other curriculum."

I've no problem with this in general but would like to see details of what they mean by "early entry programs". I'm not sure what they mean by this, and from experience, pushing kids into fields they have no talent for or have no interest in can be counter-productive. Does anyone know more about this plan?
