A delegation of experts has set off for Shanghai this week to see first-hand how students there have topped international leagues tables for mathematics.
Led by education minister Elizabeth Truss, the visit is being seen by the Department for Education (DfE) as key to improving the UK’s “competitiveness and productivity”.
Ms Truss will visit three schools at primary and secondary levels as well as teacher training institutes to see maths lessons and teaching methods.
The group includes Dame Rachel de Souza, who leads the Inspiration Trust of academies and Charlie Stripp, who runs Mathematics in Education and Industry and is the director of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics.
