Promoting Core Maths: background, evidence, plans, opportunities and challenges
This article, by Professor Paul Glaister, University of Reading, discusses some of the issues relating to the promotion of Core Maths to students, parents, schools and colleges and their senior leadership teams, and also to employers and higher education (HE). It considers the educational landscape prior to the introduction of Core Maths and the various reports that have been published that led to the introduction of Core Maths. It aims to address the following questions:
Student: ‘Why should I take Core Maths?’
Parent: ‘What advice should I give my son/daughter about taking Core Maths?’
Head Teacher/College Principal: ‘Why should we offer Core Maths?’
Employer: ‘What benefits will employees with Core Maths bring?’
University Admissions Tutor: ‘Should our entrance requirements include Core Maths, and why?’
