This work is funded by the Nuffield Foundation and the full title of the project is The early take-up of Core Mathematics: successes and challenges.
The project runs from March 2017 to March 2020.
Essentially, we are investigating how provision of this new and important post-16 mathematics qualification is developing across England. We are interested in the reasons why it is succeeding in certain institutions, and the barriers to its success in others.
If you want to contribute to the research please Get Involved. We are particularly keen to hear the views of higher education instituitons, and schools/colleges who have considered offering Core Maths but have decided not to.
Rachel has written a blogpost for the Edge Foundation on Core Maths and our project.
We will be presenting our latest findings at a seminar within the School of Education. More details here.
What are we finding from our case study visits (summer 2018)?
Budget follow-up – where does the £600 figure come from?
