This collection of STEM education reports explores mathematics education Post 16. The reports include:

  • Post-16 Mathematics by the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME), which responds to Michael Gove’s speech at the Royal Society in June 2011.
  • Understanding the UK Mathematics Curriculum Pre-Higher Education by Mathematics in Education and Industry, which offers an overview of pre-university qualifications and describes major developments in mathematics.
  • Towards Universal Participation in Post-16 Mathematics: Lessons from High-performing Countries from the Nuffield Foundation, which is a follow-up to the report 'Is the UK an outlier?'.
  • Mathematics Learning, Identity and Educational Practice: the Transition into Post-compulsory Education from The University of Manchester contains quotes from students and teachers about their experiences of working with the GCSE mathematics curriculum.

Post-16 mathematics: planning for success

Provided by the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME), these resources respond to Michael Gove’s speech at the Royal Society in June 2011, and to recommendations in reports such as Mathematical Needs and Is the UK an Outlier? They set out a strategy for dramatically increasing participation in Post-16...

Understanding the UK Mathematics Curriculum Pre-Higher Education

This resource, provided by Mathematics in Education and Industry, offers an overview of pre-university qualifications and describes major developments in mathematics.

Since there are a considerable number of pre-higher education qualifications in mathematics available in the United Kingdom, it is not always...

Towards Universal Participation in Post-16 Mathematics: Lessons from High-performing Countries

This study, from the Nuffield Foundation, is a follow-up to the report 'Is the UK an outlier?', which examined mathematics education provision in 24 different countries and revealed that England, Wales and Northern Ireland have the lowest levels of participation in upper secondary mathematics. They were the only...

Mathematics Learning, Identity and Educational Practice: the Transition into Post-compulsory Education

The transition into post-compulsory mathematics education is summarised in this resource from the University of Manchester, which contains quotes from students and teachers about their experiences of working with the GCSE mathematics curriculum.

The report includes the following implications from the study...
