The Future of PrimaryConnections
The Australian Government has recently signalled that funding will not continue for the Australian Academy of Science’s PrimaryConnections: Linking Science with Literacy Project.
The Academy is confident, based on comprehensive independent assessments, that PrimaryConnections enables Australia’s primary school teachers to significantly improve the scientific literacy of their students. The PrimaryConnections team is currently working to complete a full suite of curriculum materials and provide professional learning that will support the effective implementation of the new Australian Curriculum: Science.
The Academy is committed to the ongoing development of PrimaryConnections and is currently exploring all options to ensure its availability in the long term.
