THE head of a Scottish secondary school has rejected the idea of Scotland following Rishi Sunak’s plan to make maths compulsory for all pupils in England until age 18.
Billy Burke, a former maths teacher and head of Renfrew High School, said the policy announced on Wednesday by the Prime Minister runs counter to the direction of Scotland’s education policy.
The teacher, who has previously formed an expert panel advising the Scottish Government on educational reforms, said there was no evidence such a policy would work.
