I agree with Carol Vorderman’s view that pupils should carry on studying maths till they are 18, because it is crucial for children to know how important mathematical skills are, to be successful in their careers and also in their daily lives. According to Carol Vorderman more than 3000,000 16 year olds each year complete their education without enough understanding of maths to function properly in their work or private lives. This is very shocking! However the 16 year olds should have been made to understand maths and the importance of mathematical skills properly by their teachers before completing their education, resulting in fewer students leaving school with no little understanding of maths. It is also concerning to hear that 24% of economically active adults were “functionally innumerate”, and also those universities and employers had to complain because students did not have enough maths skills. This clearly shows that pupils should continue studying maths in order for them to get into universities and workplaces they aspire to go to.
