The United Kingdom is the only first world country that allows its students to give up the study of Mathematics at 16 years old, ie. in Sixth Form or equivalent. A recent Cambridge University research document stated that 55% of UK employers have concerns about employees in their workforce; many reported they could not fill vacancies because of a lack of numeracy skills. Mathematical Studies is designed for pupils who want to continue with Maths beyond GCSE but who wish to choose other options within their core A level programme of study. It will support the numeracy required by many A level subjects and provides breadth for pupils who might be considering A levels focused mainly on Humanities, Languages, Business, Psychology and PE.
