Mathematics and Physics: Teachers
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure high standards of teaching in maths and physics.
- Answer
-
Our reforms to the curriculum and qualifications are raising standards in mathematics and science. In March 2015 the Prime Minister announced £67m of funding to train an additional 2,500 science and maths teachers and provide subject knowledge enhancement courses for a further 15,000 teachers over the next five years.
Our network of 34 Maths Hubs is helping to improve mathematics teaching through exchanges with Shanghai and the use of high-quality textbooks. The National Science Learning Network and the Stimulating Physics Network are providing high quality training to teachers.
