Why was Euclidian Geometry removed from 2U/3U/4U Syllabi? (1 Viewer)

I know that it is covered slighty within the vectors topic within 3u and 4u but why did NESA remove geometry in general? I feel like this is an elegant topic which can help with critical thinking.

HSC was not very creative with these questions. Whilst the topic itself has a lot of nuance, it was not well reflected in the final exams. Lots of the geometry could be exploited through out of syllabus means which also could result in inequities

Oh ok, thank you for clearing that up.

Something had to be kicked out when you bring in vectors and statistics into an already crowded syllabus.

Cause this is a rote learning topic. I'm actually glad they removed it

This useless topic wont even be touched upon in uni by 99% of people

I'm also sure if you're doing something math related vectors and statistics will appear again. Euclidean geometry definitely will not.

Currently NSW syllabus for maths is barely any different from VCE. In fact, VCE covers more practical topics such as more statistics (stuff like confidence intervals), implicit differentiation and cross product.
