L3 Participation Prompt Sheet

Adrian Smith – Core Maths Comments There is no funding for students taking Core Maths qualifications as these are always studied as an addition to a student’s main programme, the current funding model does not incentivise Core Maths provision, despite widespread enthusiasm for this pathway. It is important for the government to ensure that funding models for schools and colleges do not lead to unintended financial disincentives for mathematics provision.
