Something remarkable has happened in maths education in England. Now the highest performing country outside of East Asia. A massive joint effort from so many, including a whole load of amazing teachers and leaders of maths! 🤩
Further evidence of England's improvement in maths today with the release of the TIMSS 2023 test which allows for comparisons across countries.
Particularly good news at year 9 (13 year olds) where we've seen a decent jump despite the pandemic (unlike other countries).

How much prescription of teaching is too much?
A DfE advisor recently said teachers were being 'enslaved' to centralised prescription, and one academic says successful teaching depends on 'rule breaking'.
But David Robson finds a nuanced picture...

Absolutely this! We have ten years of system leadership learning from the Maths Hubs Programme ready to share. Highly ethical leadership.
Thanks @jonsevers.bsky.social for this. Big thanks @jonnyuttley.bsky.social for insight into the important aspect of the speech. Political leadership that says a competitive rather than collaborative model ends now is a great start, but needs careful system design. Teachers and leaders are ready.
"That chase for a narrow shadow of excellence... that only succeeds by pushing problems on to others - that ends now"
