There was a concern that mathematics is not a stand-alone subject in the revised curriculum. There would be five subject specification areas and mathematics will be included with STEM, which is new for primary education. Teachers were worried that mathematics itself may not get enough time within that subject specification. We are very conscious that for all of STEM, a good mathematical foundation is also needed and we are concerned that with the time allocations for the revised specifications, there may not be enough time given to mathematics. This was a concern they raised in our consultation with them.
