The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Department for Children, Schools and Families thank Sir Mark Walport and the Science and Learning Expert Group for their report and will now consider the recommendations he makes.
Schools Minister Iain Wright said:
“I’m pleased Sir Mark Walport applauds the huge strides we’ve made in the last few years thanks to sustained Government commitment, and that he highlights the UK’s strong showing in international comparison studies.
Science and Innovation Minister Lord Drayson said:
“The UK is a world-leading science and research nation. It is imperative that students are stretched by science education as the next generation of scientists, engineers and mathematicians will be vital for securing strong economic growth in the years ahead. I am grateful for Sir Mark’s report which makes a number of recommendations to build on the significant progress we have made in recent years.”
