Draft school science curriculum 'shocking'

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 5 July 2023

Advance copies of the draft school science curriculum contain no mention of the core science subjects physics, chemistry and biology, leaving some to ask 'where is the science?'

Instead subjects will be taught through four contexts - the earth system, biodiversity, food, energy and water, and infectious diseases.

Doug Walker, President of the Association of Science Educators, was shocked when he saw the 'fast draft'.

Walker spoke to Corin Dann.
