Recommended reading
I highly recommend reading the speech of the former Chief Scientist Prof Alan Finkel AO (November 2018); it highlights the important role of mathematics in education.My colleague Dr Daniel Mathews and I have written an opinion article on performance targets in academia; it has been published in the Gazette of the Australian Mathematical Society (see publications); a pdf version can be found here.
