uin	6999
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2015 answer text <p>Some schools have historically offered additional qualifications to complement the mathematics GCSE and provide stretch and challenge for the most able students. We have not issued any explicit guidance on the teaching of these qualifications and we do not directly monitor their availability in schools. <br> <br> From September 2015 a new mathematics GCSE will be taught in schools which will be more challenging, ambitious and rigorous, and will ensure that children have the mathematical skills vital to continue in higher education, training and employment. For the most able students, it will provide greater stretch while better preparing them to move on to A levels in mathematics and further mathematics.<br> <br> Final decisions about whether to offer additional mathematics qualifications for the most able students following the introduction of the new GCSE rest with schools. We believe that schools and teachers are best placed to make such decisions if they consider it to be in the best interests of their students.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 7192 question first answered 22/07/2015 12:13:03 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
