Maths until 18 by
DJR 17 Apr 2023 10:52I'm not sure it's the vote-winner Sunak thinks it is or necessarily the answer to our problems, but I would wholeheartedly agree with this, which he said this morning.
"We make jokes about not being able to do maths. It’s socially acceptable. We say things like, ‘oh maths, I can’t do that, it’s not for me’ and everyone laughs. But we’d never make a joke like that about not being able to read.
So we’ve got to change this anti-maths mindset."
