Most primary school teachers receive around 20 hours of mathematics instruction during their initial training, which is often seen as insufficient.
This lack of depth can result in teachers lacking the confidence and expertise needed to teach mathematics effectively.
The teaching and learning landscape changes constantly — targets change, policies change — each class is different and every pupil has their story.
Stay on top of effective practice with the 3 qualifications of the programme, and learn from world-leading teaching professionals, academics and curriculum architects.

Three qualifications: from Fellow to Master
The Teacher Qualification Programme offers a structured pathway for educators to enhance their skills in teaching mathematics. Starting as a Fellow, teachers can progress to Expert and then Master level, each stage requiring more credits, broader impact, and deeper expertise.
This journey allows educators to demonstrate their growing proficiency, from classroom effectiveness to school-wide influence, and ultimately to community-level leadership in mathematics education.
