Mancunians have reacted after the Prime Minister has said all pupils will study maths until they are 18 years old.
Rishi Sunak will set out his plan to ensure all pupils in England study some form of maths until aged 18 in his first speech of 2023 on Wednesday (January 4). He will lay out his priorities and ambitions for the year ahead, which will include a new mission to combat high rates of innumeracy in England.
Commenting on the Manchester Evening News' Facebook page, Mancunians have had their say on the change. Some have slammed it as 'ridiculous' while others reckon Mr Sunak's priorities should lie elsewhere - while some questioned the practicality of hiring more maths teachers to take on the fear.
