"A Rudd Labor Government will provide $111 million over four years in financial incentives for university students to study and teach maths and science. The plan provides a double-barrelled incentive for young Australians:

We will then halve the HECS repayments of maths and science graduates if they take up work in a relevant maths/science occupation, particularly teaching."
