‘Let them eat maths!’ – Politics Weekly UK

from Politics Weekly UK · host The Guardian

The UK needs to shift its ‘anti-maths mindset’, according to Rishi Sunak.

The Guardian’s John Harris speaks to Gill Burbridge, headteacher of Leyton sixth form college, and Guardian columnists Rafael Behr and Gaby Hinsliff.
