Numeracy programs
Children in Australia’s most disadvantaged communities start school already behind.
Children who start school behind in maths generally stay behind.
Numeracy is a foundation skill for successful participation in our society – individuals need it for budgeting, taking medication and employment.
The STEM disciplines – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - are key underpinnings for the future of innovative economies, with an increased global reliance on these knowledge areas.
