At the time of writing (August 2021), the AMSP is providing professional development to more teachers of AS and A level Mathematics, AS and A level Further Mathematics and Core Maths than ever before, and over 9,000 primary schools (more than 50% of the total) and more than 1200 secondary schools (more than 35% of the total) have taken part in the NCETM’s Teaching for Mastery programmes. MEI reacted rapidly to the Covid crisis, moving its work online and developing extensive online provision to enable the AMSP and NCETM to continue their national work to support maths education. Both programmes have adapted their work to do all they can to help young people’s maths education to recover from the disruption caused by the pandemic. Alongside these areas we continue to work on a range of innovative development projects. MEI’s Chief Executives Roger Porkess Roger Porkess was MEI’s first Chief Executive. He retired in 2010 having held the position for 20 years. Roger had seen MEI grow from an organisation with no staff, to one with over 20 members of staff, almost all of them working full-time for MEI. Under Roger’s leadership, MEI became a much more significant contributor to maths education at a national level. Charlie Stripp Roger was succeeded as Chief Executive by Charlie Stripp in September 2010. In 2013 Charlie Stripp took up the post of Director of the NCETM as part of MEI’s work to support improvements in maths education at all levels, from the start of primary school to age 18. He was awarded an MBE for services to education in 2015.
