[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]GCSE mathematics is often presented as a success story: participation is high, attainment compares well internationally, and the qualification is widely recognised. Yet, juxtaposed with this, adult numeracy levels in England remain poor. As the Chair of the Numeracy for Life Committee, Lord Agnew of Oulton, recently observed: “Whilst we appear to be performing well in maths for students, we also know that numeracy levels amongst adults are shockingly low, with approximately half of the adult population possessing the numeracy skills expected of an 11‑year‑old.” This raises a fundamental question: is GCSE mathematics fit for purpose?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A strong professional network can add value to our careers in many ways, whether it leads to mentorship opportunities, broadens our knowledge of our field, creates possibilities for collaborative projects, or even helps us to discover job opportunities. However, building a network comes with the daunting task of networking. For many of us it can be difficult to know where to start; it is not always easy to approach someone at a conference, reach out online or start a conversation at an event. Removing these barriers and feeling more confident networking can open new doors for us in our careers.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Many of us will, at some stage in our career, experience ‘Imposter Syndrome’; a feeling of inadequacy that persists despite evidence to the contrary. These feelings can make it harder for us to take opportunities and progress in our careers. Whether starting a new role, taking on new responsibility or just in our everyday routines, bottling up this sensation of chronic self-doubt can have a real impact on our confidence. However, this feeling may be more widespread than we realise and when we have the opportunity to talk about it we can start to tackle it.
