A curriculum guru, the former Ofqual boss and the CEO of a credit card giant will be tasked with advising the government on how to deliver its plan to extend maths education up to 18.
It comes as prime minister Rishi Sunak doubled down on his promise this morning, announcing the establishment of the new expert advisory group.
The panel, made up of eight experts including mathematicians, education leaders and business representatives (see full list below) – will take evidence from countries with high rates of post-16 numeracy and UK employers between.
Among the panel are Ofqual’s former interim chief regulator Simon Lebus and Tim Oates, group director of assessment research and development at Cambridge University Press and Assessment and one of the 2014 national curriculum architects.
