The PM’s AI announcement is a reminder: AI is built on maths - data, algorithms, analytical thinking.
Yet too few continue maths after 16. I wrote about the @mathshorizons report’s call for a 16–19 maths entitlement 👇

The goal of the @mathshorizons project is to inform actionable recommendations for improving maths education in England. Our interim report is out: mathshorizons.uk/_files/ugd/… Please read our findings so far, & consider how to get involved in the second phase. RTs very welcome.
We are delighted to have published our Interim Report for the Maths Horizons Project today: mathshorizons.uk/interim-rep…
This reflects on some of what we have learned so far through an extensive range of contributors. We would love to hear your thoughts on the findings!
Our final investigation, on ensuring the 5-18 maths curriculum and assessment structure is giving all students access to work and/or further study, is well and truly under way.
Here's a🧵on some of the data that we have got back.
It had been suggested to us that teachers straight out of qualifying might prefer the structure and support of a relatively rigid curriculum, then start to favour a more malleable framework as they grow in experience. But our findings didn’t support this.
