Espresso No. 4

We have teamed up with National Numeracy to put together a short and informal survey to find out what our readers opinions are. If you have a spare minute please complete the survey via this link.

The shortage of maths teachers has been well documented in recent months. Here is a blog which examines the reasons behind the shortage.
