The government announced $5.7 million funding for research partnerships to revolutionise the way maths and physics are taught in Australian schools. 

The funding will include projects to teach Albert Einstein’s theories and other projects aimed at changing the future of education. 

This includes a funding of $898,560 to the University of Western Australia to take part in an international project to test and review the success of teaching Albert Einstein’s theories of space, time, matter, light and gravity. 

$321,817 will be funded to the Monash University to research how five to eight year olds learn mathematics and develop better ways of teaching it through challenges and problems. 

$334,250 will be funded for Western Sydney University to develop a tool for untrained people to make music using computers. This will benefit the creative arts and the education sector. 

"Our Government is providing record school funding of $307.7 billion for state schools, for Catholic schools and for Independent schools and we are driving reforms to deliver outcomes and results for every student,” Minister for Education Dan Tehan said. 

"These research projects will investigate better ways to teach maths and physics and we all know how important STEM knowledge will be in the future,” Mr Tehan added.
