SUMMARY:Maths and Empowerment: Is Maths Excellence the Key to Social Mobility?
URL:https://policyexchange.org.uk/labour-party-conference-2023/
DESCRIPTION:Mathematics is fundamental to the success of individuals and the nation\, with benefits arising from improvements across the ability spectrum – from imparting basic numeracy\, to enabling the gifted to excel. \n\nWe know that too many individuals are held back from achieving their potential due to poor maths teaching. Disadvantaged pupils are twice as likely to fail GCSE maths as their wealthier classmates – and many others are held back from life-changing opportunities in apprenticeships because of arbitrary requirements to pass a certain level of mathematics – without appropriate teaching routes in place. \nThe event will focus on how we can better deliver Maths Excellence between the ages of 11 to 18\, considering topics including the role of pedagogy\, qualified teachers and how schools\, colleges\, employers and charities can work together most effectively. It is likely to cover a variety of themes\, including:\n•	What are the secrets to successful maths teaching – and how can these be rolled out more widely?\n•	How to design a maths curriculum that both caters for those at risk of innumeracy and stimulates and develops our very best mathematicians?\n•	What are the systemic challenges? In particular\, how do we overcome the lack of maths teachers – given that mathematicians will always be able to command much higher salaries elsewhere?\nSpeakers\n•	Rt Hon Lord Knight of Weymouth\, former Minister of State for Schools and Chair of the Council of British International Schools\n•	Tom Chivers\, Science Writer\, Semafor \n•	Daisy Christodoulou\, Director of Education\, No More Marking\n•	David Thomas\, Chief Executive Officer\, Maths Education for Social Mobility and Excellence\n•	Iain Mansfield\, Director of Research\, Policy Exchange	(Chair)\n\nLineup is subject to change.
