Monash experts lead the charge in strengthening VCE maths exams
Monash University mathematicians, led by Professor Warwick Tucker and Professor Burkard Polster, are collaborating with the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) to enhance the quality and rigour of Victoria’s VCE mathematics examinations. This partnership involves Monash academics reviewing and writing VCE maths exams, aiming to ensure assessments are rigorous, fair, and reflective of curriculum objectives.
This initiative follows recommendations from an independent review led by Dr John Bennett AM, emphasising the inclusion of qualified academics in exam development. The collaboration aims to provide students with fair opportunities to demonstrate their mathematical proficiency.
