My right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, has set a new mission for all young people in England to study mathematics to age 18, equipping them with the skills they need for the modern economy. The department\u2019s driving principle is to ensure that all young people are equipped with the right mathematics knowledge and skills to thrive, whatever their chosen pathway.<\/p>
The department knows teachers already work tirelessly to deliver high-quality mathematics education. Rolling out mathematics to a substantially larger post-16 cohort will require a larger workforce, trained and equipped to teach young people the mathematics skills they need for their future careers. We will work closely with schools and colleges to deliver this.<\/p>

The government has no current plans to review the performance of students in mathematics compared to their performance in English and science in schools.<\/p>
The department\u2019s secondary school accountability measures are designed to encourage schools to teach a broad and balanced curriculum, with a strong academic core, and to incentivise schools to focus on improving the attainment of all pupils. School performance tables include information on pupil entries and attainment across a range of subjects and qualifications, compared to national and local authority averages.<\/p>"}

Sitting at the heart of UK Shared Prosperity Fund\u2019s skills offer, with £560 million allocated over the Spending Review (SR) period, Multiply is the government\u2019s new programme for improving adult numeracy, including:<\/p>
- £430 million across the SR (£130 million in 2022-23, £150 million in 2023-24, £150 million in 2024-25) allocated directly to local areas to deliver local numeracy interventions.<\/li>
- £129 million across the SR (£49 million in 2022-23, £40 million in 2023-24, and £40 million in 2024-25) will deliver a new digital platform and a programme of Randomised Control Trials to improve evidence and evaluation in the field.<\/li><\/ul>
Multiply builds on existing entitlements for funding for maths qualifications up to Level 2 (GCSE) in the Adult Education Budget. Funding will enable delivery of more flexible courses that fit around adult\u2019s lives and meet their needs, reaching more people across the UK.<\/p>
The Government will publish further details on the fund in due course.<\/p>"}

The department has not set specific targets for mathematics rankings in international comparison studies. However, we are taking action to help our pupils excel in mathematics on the international stage.<\/p>
For example, our previous reform of the mathematics curriculum and GCSE examinations in England sought to match the standards set by high performing East Asian jurisdictions. Building on this work, our network of 40 school-led Maths Hubs across England is also helping local schools improve the quality of their mathematics teaching. This includes the delivery of the £100 million Teaching for Mastery programme, which is bringing teaching practice from those same high performing jurisdictions to 11,000 primary and secondary schools across England by 2023.<\/p>
In July the department announced a new multi-million pound scheme to support mathematics catch-up and boost numeracy skills for pupils starting primary and secondary school. This offer will be led by the National Centre for Excellence in the teaching of mathematics in partnership with Maths Hubs. The scheme will provide teacher training and materials to thousands of schools across England this academic year based on Teaching for Mastery approaches.<\/p>
The UK performed significantly above the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development average in mathematics in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment tests in 2018, the results of which were reported in 2019, with a significant improvement in average score compared to 2015. England\u2019s average mathematics score also significantly improved, accompanied by a decrease in the number of countries that scored significantly above England from 19 in 2015 to 12 in 2018.<\/p>
Across the UK, Wales\u2019s average mathematics score improved between 2012 and 2018. Average mathematics performance in Scotland remained stable between 2015 and 2018, but decreased compared to 2006, and has remained stable in Northern Ireland since 2006. Education policy is devolved, and the devolved administrations are responsible for standards in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.<\/p>"}
