The conservative Rishi Sunak is adamant that young people need to have more sophisticated training in the field because it will enable them to do their future jobs more effectively.
According to a press preview, education issues would be the main focus of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's opening speech to the British nations in 2023. Although he will have time to address the delays in the health care system and the wave of strikes, he will prioritise educational reform.
Sunak wants to make maths a required subject for all British schoolchildren till the age of 18. Only half of 16 to 19-year-olds learn mathematics, according to the British government, and almost eight million adults in the nation have the numeracy abilities of a primary school student.
The prime minister says that in a world where data is abundant and statistics support every action, it is important to "reimagine the approach to numeracy. The BBC predicts that the jobs of our children will require more analytical skills than ever.
The conservative is certain that more advanced maths instruction for young people is necessary since it will prepare them for their future careers and assist them in managing their finances as adults.
Labour criticises Sunak, claiming that his only contribution to the nation is an increase in maths instruction for students, despite the fact that the British have other worries. After 12 years of Conservative government, the health system is disintegrating, criminals terrorise the streets, and workers fret about how their paychecks will carry them through the month, a Labor source told The Times.
More than half of parents, according to a YouGov survey, want their kids to continue studying maths and English until they are 18 years old. Experts agree that mandating A-level arithmetic for all students would not make sense, but they assert that continuing maths instruction in a lower grade until the age of 18 would benefit numeracy.
