Please contribute to Investigation 5

Today we are launching our fifth and final investigation before we publish our interim report. In this investigation, we want to explore how well our 5-18 maths curriculum and assessment is preparing students for the world of work: we want to consider whether maths education is giving all students access to employment, whether it meets the needs of different higher education institutions and different types of employer; and what role employers play, or should play, in the education process. Please help us by giving your views below.
