My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Labor’s plan for an education revolution including a plan to encourage young Australians to both study and teach maths and science—core drivers of our economy into the future. Why, after years and years of talk, has the government not acted to address the fact that 25 per cent of science teachers do not have a science qualification and 25 per cent of maths teachers do not have a major in maths?
