Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will unveil today his wish to make maths lessons in England compulsory for everyone up to the age of 18. Mr Sunak is to make a speech setting out some of the Government's plans for the year later today.
The UK remains one of the only countries in the world that does not require children to study some form of maths up to the age of 18.
The PM will say that with the “right plan”, he sees “no reason” why “we cannot rival the best education systems in the world”.
