ACME (www.acme-uk.org)
The Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME), established in January
2002, is an independent committee which acts as a single voice for the
mathematical community, seeking to improve the quality of education in schools
and colleges. It advises Government on issues such as the curriculum,
assessment and the supply and training of mathematics teachers. ACME was
established by the

Society and the
Joint Mathematical Council
of the UK with the explicit backing of all major mathematics organisations,
and is supported by the
