An ACER research review suggests that fundamental STEM skills should be established in primary school and that the most effective way to do this is through an integrated approach to teaching STEM.

Sue Thomson explores what the results from an international assessment of mathematics and science reveal about the students in a typical Australian classroom.

The latest international survey shows that Australian students’ mathematics and science achievement levels continue to slide. So what it will take to lift them?

Results from an international study of mathematics and science achievement reveal no improvement in the performance of Australian students.
