摘要

Engineers Australia has restated its long-held view that a higher priority must be placed on teaching maths and sciences in Australian school curricula in a recent government submission responding to the National Mathematics and Science Curriculum Framing Papers.rnIt also advocated more support for eachers. "Teachers need to be better supported. This is particularly true at the primary school level where many teachers are not comfortable teaching mathematics. These teachers need better support to avoid these subjects being left out of the classroom."
