How can Australia solve the math teacher shortage? It can start by training more existing teachers to teach math

It identified 12 different courses to give existing teachers math teaching skills. They varied in terms of location, duration and aims. In the current incentive environment, we found these courses cater to a very small number of teachers. For example, in 2024 in New South Wales this year there are only about 50 government-sponsored places available.we were losing more than 1,000 equivalent full-time math teachers per year to attrition and retirement and new graduates were at best in the low hundreds.

To develop a similar scheme here in Australia, we would need coordination between federal and state governments and universities. Based on the Irish experience, it would also require several million dollars in funding.
