Technology roadmaps
On 13 April 2007, COAG agreed that four technology road maps would be developed, covering the following technologies: hydrogen; geothermal; solar thermal; and coal gasification. The hydrogen, geothermal and solar thermal road maps have now been completed. The roadmap on coal gasification was not progressed, as the technology is being advanced through research funded by other fora.

National Numeracy Review
The National Numeracy Review, commissioned by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) is an independent review undertaken by a panel of experts led by Professor Gordon Stanley. The report informs best practice for teaching numeracy and mathematics. The report identified 15 recommendations with a focus on:
- the need for early, systematic teaching of numeracy and mathematics that includes assessment activities to ensure that all students have the foundational skills to progress through a developmental continuum; and
- increasing resources for teachers in terms of professional development and pre-service teacher education to address the identified shortfalls in both mathematics content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge to ensure quality teaching of numeracy and mathematics across the curriculum.
Key documents informing the review including Terms of Reference, Background Paper, Discussion Paper, Invitational Forum Summary and Submissions from organisations can be accessed on the Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations website.
The DOC version of the National Numeracy Review has been reproduced from the PDF version. The PDF version remains the authoritative version of the document.
