The NSW government will make maths compulsory for year 11 and 12 students under a plan to ensure school graduates have key numeracy skills.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the NSW government would begin consultation with education stakeholders over how mathematics could be incorporated from kindergarten to the end of the HSC.
“My vision is for every child in NSW to have the necessary maths skills to succeed in life, whether that’s managing home budgets or preparing them for the jobs of the future in science, technology and engineering.”Ms Berejiklian said.
