I include here links to some recent (and not so recent) news stories that might interest those concerned about Maths Teaching. I have deliberately avoided the teachers’ web sites which tend to be full of jargon. The BBC, Daily Telegraph and Guardian tend to have the best coverage, although the Telegraph stories are behind paywalls so don’t feature much here:
- November 2012 – not strictly speaking a news report – this is fascinating data, on a borough by borough basis, showing where London students go to school – https://files.datapress.com/london/dataset/cross-border-mobility-secondary-school-age-children/update_25_2012_cross_border_mobility.pdf
- 10 September 2014 – An excellent article showing, among other interesting statistics, the strength of GCSE teaching in London as compared to elsewhere in the country - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29128559
- 3 October 2014 – An interesting bit of research showing how financial rewards affect a student’s Exam Results – www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-29461681
- 18 June 2019 – coverage of the leaks of Edexcel A Level Maths papers https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-48678004
