From the article:
The first big changes in a decade are on the way for the Victorian school
curriculum. From the beginning of next year, there will be a new approach to
what students learn, how they are assessed, the standards they must meet
and how their progress is reported.

Traditional subjects such as maths and English won't disappear, nor will they
dominate. The new framework, known as "Essential Learnings", will group
these subjects as "core knowledge" and give equal importance to personal
and social development, and to skills with wide application, such as
reasoning and problem solving.
