Speaker

O'Keeffe Dan

Description

The presentation will report on trends over time of the enrolments in final year secondary physics as a percentage of the age cohort. Most of the states will be individually covered. There will also be a more detailed analysis of data from Victoria, including the retention from Year 10 to Year 11 physics and from Year 11 physics to Year 12 physics. This will be an update on the presentation at the 2024 Congress. If time permits, the tertiary destination of secondary physics students will be touched on.
