In Australia, instead of geography and history, programming will be taught, which will be introduced from primary grades.
Australian authorities have come to the conclusion that modern schools should focus on mathematical subjects. After all, it is critically important for the country's productivity.
The government will allocate 12 million Australian dollars to implement the program. This school innovation was one of the last actions of Education Minister Christopher Pyne in this position. From Monday, he heads Australia's Ministry of Industry, Innovation and Science.
