Building On Achievement, Meeting New Challenges

Published: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 17:37:47

A major review of maths teaching in primary schools, personalising the education of every child, and a renewed focus on pupil behaviour will underpin a relentless drive on school standards as Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families Ed Balls today (10 July 2007) unveiled his vision for his new Department.

A review of primary and early years mathematics teaching will be led by Sir Peter Williams, Chair of the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME). The review will seek to define the most effective methods of teaching and learning maths to develop pupils’ deeper understanding - to build on the 83,000 more 11 year olds who now achieve the expected level in numeracy for their age since 1997. The review will also help with the design of Every Child Counts, a new intervention programme for young children who are struggling with numeracy.
