Fucking hell, the speech from Sunak has made me grumpy. I must be nearly recovered, I'm getting back to my old ranty self.
I din't see this, (need to watch later). I know he wants to force people to study maths until 18. The issue with this, is that surely different jobs require different maths skills, so if you go in to say data science then you will learn the associated maths, if you go in to Astronomy, medicine then again learn associated maths, but you learn as you progress through your career.
@zleap He's quoted as saying '"In a world where data is everywhere and statistics underpin every job, our children's jobs will require more analytical skills than ever before,"' It very much reminds me of that 'Fatima's next job could be in cyber' fiasco. It's just a vague aspiration though with no policy details, so expect nothing to come of it before the next election in any case.
