Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to page 112 of the Industrial Strategy, published in November 2017, how many Maths hubs have been set up in each NUTS 1 region and in which under-achieving areas she plans to establish the new Maths hubs.
There is currently a network of 35 mathematics hubs. These are located in the following NUTS 1 regions:
NUTS 1 region | Number of mathematics hubs |
East Midlands | 3 |
East of England | 4 |
London | 6 |
North East | 2 |
North West | 4 |
South East | 5 |
South West | 4 |
West Midlands | 3 |
Yorkshire and the Humber | 4 |
As outlined in the Industrial Strategy, we will announce new mathematics hubs in under-achieving areas later this year.
