The HSC subject 8000 students dumped last year

Over 8000 students dropped advanced mathematics in last year’s Higher School Certificate, with a third discontinuing the course between year 11 and 12. The decline occurred despite efforts to boost Australia’s graduate workforce in STEM fields. Education experts suggest parental pressure and misaligned expectations contribute to these enrolment changes.
