ACME response to A-Level Mathematics Entries

20 August 2009

Commenting on the 12.6% rise in A-Level Mathematics entries compared to twelve months ago, and the 15.2% increases in Further Mathematics, Professor Dame Julia Higgins FRS, Chair of ACME, said:

"The surge in the numbers studying A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics is extremely encouraging, reflecting a continuation of the upward trend over a number of years. We hope that this expansion will continue over the coming years, as it will lead to more mathematically able students going on in to university and entering the labour market. This can only be of benefit the nation as a whole"
