Recommendation 36
36
Paragraph: 147
Increase maths teacher recruitment targets substantially and maintain other shortage subject targets
Conclusion
Targets for maths and other shortage subjects should not be reduced unless the shortage is reversed, and recruitment targets are met, over a sustained period of time. Considering Government plans for compulsory until the age of 18 the maths target must be increased substantially unless the Government can set out other plans for delivering functional or practical mathematics through an alternative cohort of teachers.
