“Many jobs in the fastest-growing industries in the next five to
10 years will require science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) skills and almost all jobs will require digital
literacy.”

Editor’s note: This article very clearly identifies the very modern
challenge, especially to primary teachers who have recently been
required to start teaching STEM-based subjects to their pupils.
One very positive step forward for these teachers is to take the
opportunities available through the STANSW ‘Young Scientist’
program, especially becoming involved in the marker training
program. Assuming the STANSW Flexible Mentors program does
start, help will also be available from that avenue.
