I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
proposed plan to employ science and maths graduates in secondary schools while
completing the second and final year of their Master of Teaching qualification
is in the initial planning stages. Preliminary discussions have been held with
the five Western Australian universities. When the proposal has been further
developed, I am happy to provide the member with a briefing or to update the
house more generally on the detail of the program.
