We are funding several interventions in this area. A-levels mathematics students are likely to earn on average 11 per cent more on their salary by the time they are 34, than students who choose not to study maths. Indeed, studying STEM can lead to a wide range of brilliant careers - from computer scientist to Minister for Women and Equalities.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/03/2020 14:31:15 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
