This delegation is a breath of fresh air. It is great to be across the table from people who are exceptionally proactive and productive and offering ways out of our current situation. I hope the Action Plan for Jobs or the follow-on from that strategy will offer solutions to the problems highlighted by the delegation. I also hope the committee can be an advocate and that the delegation will offer us further sound and practical advice in the future.

I have a question more out of curiosity about girls and their attitude to maths. Are fewer girls studying higher level maths or is there another reason?
