��ճԹ� Occasional Paper 1 – Crunching the numbers on out-of-field teaching in maths

Out-of-field teaching in mathematics is a deep and difficult problem in Australian secondary schools. It is estimated that between 21 percent and 38 percent of Year 7-10 maths classes are taught by out-of-field teachers, depending on the definition1. Combined with the subject’s other endemic problems, such as the 20 year decline in the proportion of students taking intermediate and advanced maths at Year 12 and the wholesale retreat from prerequisites by the universities, the future for the mathematics teaching workforce looks grim.
