Department for Education written question – answered at on 21 July 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure high standards of teaching in maths and physics.
Our reforms to the curriculum and qualifications are raising standards in mathematics and science. In March 2015 the Prime Minister announced £67m of funding to train an additional 2,500 science and maths teachers and provide subject knowledge enhancement courses for a further 15,000 teachers over the next five years.
Our network of 34 Maths Hubs is helping to improve mathematics teaching through exchanges with Shanghai and the use of high-quality textbooks. The National Science Learning Network and the Stimulating Physics Network are providing high quality training to teachers.
