PM backs Aboriginal culture in science

Scott Morrison says science teachers should use any tool to get kids excited about the field, including indigenous culture.

Science teachers should use every tool available to get children excited about the field, including Aboriginal culture, the prime minister says.

Scott Morrison's comments comes after Australia's curriculum authority published 95 ways indigenous culture could be incorporated into lessons.

"I am for whatever tool they need to help kids better understand science," Mr Morrison told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
