A quote from Nick Gibb, The Minister for Schools, 7 March 2016
The Government are determined to make Britain the best place in the world to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Our reforms to the curriculum and qualifications are designed to raise standards to match the best internationally. Our networks of Maths Hubs and Science Learning Partnerships are supporting schools with the aim of improving the quality of mathematics and science teaching, and a £67 million package will train up to 17,500 maths and physics teachers by 2020.
