London, Jan 4 (PTI) British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday said he was looking at plans to ensure all pupils in the United Kingdom study maths in some form until the age of 18.
“We’re one of the few countries not to require our children to study some form of maths up to the age of 18. Right now, just half of all 16-19-year-olds study any maths at all,” Sunak said in his first speech of 2023.
“In a world where data is everywhere and statistics underpin every job, letting our children out into that world without those skills, is letting our children down. So we need to go further,” the Indian-origin prime minister said.
