Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending the advanced maths premium to cover all pupils studying level 3 maths.
The Advanced Maths Premium provides schools and colleges with £600 per year for every additional pupil studying advanced mathematics post-16. It is a short term measure to support schools and colleges to tackle the barriers to increasing participation particularly in areas where take-up is currently low. This approach aims to support and encourage schools and colleges to continue to expand their mathematics curriculum above current levels.
