It'll be interesting if someone says what the all new subjects correspond to in the NSW curricula.

Eg: Specialist maths -> 3U and a bit of 4U
ive already said that.

english is condensed, maths is expanded, history is the same, science is the same.

well for starters it's called "Specialist Mathematics" and its looks like a majority of 3U.
Looks like they will be including complex numbers, easy conics, mechanics, harder integration, vectors and graphing from the 4U course as well as adding matrices and statistics. So they're keeping a fair chunk of 4U.

Far out, all I can say is, thank heavens I'm graduating this year!!! I have always been supportive of a national curriculum, but on the basis that it very closely mimicked NSW's!!!

And how is it totally 'national' if it only covers some subjects? Or each state/territory has it's own education department?

Far out, government, get it right. If you want national, do it freaking national...not half-half!

Really not keen on any of it. The Modern syllabus seems to be adding more compulsory Australian history as well ://.

i heard many saying otherwise. i think that "harder 3U" is out.

i couldn't agree more. there should be a FULL national curriculum, with a national board of studies, and a national HSC.

but no, their keeping the states in charge for now...

Wooohoooo!

Sucked in bitches.

Jeez. There isn't even a big change...just the maths and english.
MATHS is the core issue here. many professional mathematicians disagree with the curriculum proposed.

I hate this >_<

where's politics?
where are the creative arts? music? drama? visual arts?
where's legal studies and economics?
languages anyone? Chinese? Indonesian? Japanese?

and maths is becoming easier? WTF :/

then that means more potential university science and engineering candidates are going to be disadvantaged at uni at some extent....

but i hope this doesn't get implemented in the first place....

well all i've heard from the opposition is that they will change the "focus" ie. get rid of the ATSI + Asia stuff.
