Mathematics: Education
(asked on 8th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of schools in each NUTS 1 region have taken up the Teaching for Mastery Maths programmes; and what estimate she has made of the number of schools in each NUTS 1 region that will have taken up the programme by 2020.
The Teaching for Mastery programme has been rolled out to 2,671 schools across England. These are located in the following NUTS 1 regions:
NUTS 1 region | Number of Teaching for Mastery schools | Proportion of Teaching for Mastery schools (%) |
East Midlands | 272 | 10 |
East of England | 257 | 10 |
London | 416 | 16 |
North East | 142 | 5 |
North West | 329 | 12 |
South East | 418 | 16 |
South West | 270 | 10 |
West Midlands | 248 | 9 |
Yorkshire and the Humber | 319 | 12 |
The Department is committed to the programme reaching half of all primary schools by 2020. Estimates of take-up by region by 2020 are not available.
As outlined in the Industrial Strategy, we will be announcing additional maths hub capacity in under-achieving areas later this year. This will ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the system to support all schools that wish to adopt the Teaching for Mastery approach, particularly those located in areas where need is greatest.
