The NSW Board of Studies is considering its position on the new draft Stage 6 (Years 11 and 12) Mathematics syllabuses in light of the planned 2011 implementation of a national maths curriculum. The Board will provide advice to the NSW Minister for Education and Training after the next Board meeting on 31 March 2009. Until further notice, NSW senior secondary maths teachers should expect to continue working with the current Stage 6 syllabuses throughout 2010. The original timetable for the new syllabuses was to distribute them to schools this term for 12 months advance preparation time before implementation for Year 11 in 2010 and Year 12 in 2011. In December 2008 the Minister wrote to the Board asking for advice about possible confusion if new NSW syllabuses were released just before the national syllabuses. A notice alerting teachers to this was placed on the Board's website. At its meeting on 17 February the Board of Studies discussed this matter and decided to proceed by reviewing the final drafts of the syllabuses at its meeting on 31 March. Following the meeting on 31 March the Board will recommend to the Minister the best approach to meet the needs of NSW students and teachers within the context of the national curriculum.
