Skills shortage help: microcredentials offer new pathways for out-of-field teachers - Grant Quarry, Education HQ (AU)

Charles Sturt University is offering two free microcredentials for out-of-field mathematics and science teachers, to be delivered online from March to October 2025. With Australia’s growing STEM qualified teacher shortage projected to affect up to 70,000 students annually by 2030 and out-of-field teaching rates for maths reaching as high as 32 per cent, the free microcredentials offer a much-needed solution. Funded through the Australian Government’s Microcredentials Pilot in Higher Education, the qualifications are designed for out-of-field teachers of maths and science, or teachers looking to add an additional teaching area.
