London: A number of
schools specialising in maths would be set up in Britain as the
government sees the subject as a "fundamental strategic priority"
in education.
This is part of the government's 600-million-pound drive to
improve education, Sky News reported.
Chancellor George Osborne will announce the plan soon, where many
new institutions for students between 16 and 18 and aimed at
providing the "highest quality maths teaching in the world" will
be set up.
The fund will be provided over the next three years, and pupils
hoping to study at the new establishments will have to go through
a special process devised by the department of education.
With the growth in digital technology, maths is regarded to be of
increasing importance to the economy and to offer students better
job prospects.
