Mathematics education
The Nuffield Foundation is committed to improving mathematics education for all. We have been involved in shaping mathematics education in the UK since our Primary Mathematics programme of the 1960s and 1970s. Alongside our current mathematics curriculum projects, we support innovative research and development.
