The Australian Government will press ahead with policies aimed at lifting the number of students who study maths and science until the end of high school. It is estimated that while around 80 per cent of students study maths in year 12, many study maths only at a basic level. There is widespread opposition to a proposal by Education Minister Christopher to require all students to study either maths or science in year 12, including within the Australian Labor Party, state Labor governments and the Business Council of Australia.
