HC Deb 19 April 1977 vol 930 c46W
10. Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she is satisfied that enough attention is being paid to mathematical education during the great debate on education.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Five organisations concerned particularly with mathematical education were invited to the regional conferences. In addition, we have received a number of written comments from various bodies about standards of mathematics teaching and the levels of attainment of school leavers.
