Part of my question is related. What are the competences that the average person seeking help lacks? Are they conceptual or numerical? I imagine part of the reason is because of the increased emphasis on the science, technology, engineering and mathematics sectors. Are our students not prepared for this learning? Is it because they are not capable of it and need all this help simply to get up to a certain level? What type of funding would we need for the continuation and development of mathematics learning support?

The aim of all good teachers is to make themselves redundant.
