The announcement comes as a campaign is launched to raise adult maths skills. A survey of 2300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back. An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year. The plan to bring 60 English-speaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a citythat has been the top performance in the OECDs Pisa tests. The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK. The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers. We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai-and other Chinese cities-has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them, said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England. They have a can-do attitude to maths-and I want us to match that, and their performance. She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country. As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race. Good maths qualifications have the greatest earnings potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment, said the education minister.24.
