More needs to be done to retain top science students

An OECD report has shown that 35 percent of Aussie students that top the class in science have no interest in pursuing a career or further study in a related field. The data comes from a 2006 survey of 15 year olds and found that this proportion is slightly less than the overall OECD average of 40 percent.

Is this to be expected? There is always going to be the group of top students who do well in a range of subjects and then settle on the area that interests them most. No doubt the contrast does also exist where some students perform well in English and then choose to study in engineering or science.

The proposed solutions include making the sciences more appealing and fun for student and to improve the understanding of the career pathways in scientific fields. Agreed.
