The federal government has unveiled a new program to boost math and science in schools.


The prime minister and his Education Minister Christopher Pyne visited the Mother Teresa Early Learning Centre preschool in Canberra to announce new funding for children's education.

The government says around 75 per cent of the fastest-growing industries now require skills in science, technology, engineering and maths - also known as STEM subjects.

And Australia is lagging behind.

Malcolm Turnbull says he wants to help nurture the next round of Australian Nobel laureates.
