My granddaughter is 1 : what will she learn in school? The RS suggests principles and the start of a 10-15 year plan for mathematics and data education.
Our Mathematical Futures programme is considering what mathematical competencies will be needed in the future and how the education system must reform to meet those needs. A new discussion paper, 'A new approach to mathematics and data education', offers stakeholders an opportunity to engage in the discussion. Read more: royalsociety.org/topics-poli…

Amazing story of family resilience. Sent me back to the loss and bewilderment of leaving Uganda as a child, and I had UK family to come back to.
Sejal Majithia & Sejal Sachdev are two women behind a new exhibition 'Ugandan Asians A Living History' reflecting on 50 years since the expulsion of Asians by Idi Amin. They talk to @itsanitarani about the impact of the expulsion on women and how it has shaped communities today.

Wonderful afternoon with the secondary Expert Panel advising @royalsociety @ACMEmaths on #MathematicalFutures. Expertly chaired by @Itchymaths. So great to be in person and to catch up with @iandav2005 and other awesome maths ed folk. royalsociety.org/news/2020/0…
My three highlights from @sciencemuseum Science Fiction. #1 Instantly recognisable from childhood TV.
#3 We watched this animation three times. Easy to see a blip that happened in the 1940s. Sobering to see the trend during my lifetime. youtu.be/jWoCXLuTIkI
