Mathematics requirements for entry into Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary, Primary)

NESA have communicated that from 2022, students planning to study a Bachelor of Education (Primary) or Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) will need a minimum HSC Band 4 in mathematics in addition to three Band 5’s. Students without the HSC Band 4 in Maths must pass MATH1900  in their first 80 units of study.

We encourage all Year 10 students who may be considering studying early childhood or primary teaching at university to include mathematics in their subject selection for the HSC to ensure they meet NESA requirements. We encourage any current Year 11 students interested in studying early childhood or primary teaching to keep studying Mathematics in Year 12. This requirement does not impact current Year 12 students.
