Qualified Teacher Status Consultation

QTS Consultation
NANAMIC is a member of the Meeting of Mathematics Subject Associations (MMSA). The MMSA has responded to the consultation about proposed changes to Qualified Teacher Status (the requirement for teachers in schools). Although it does not directly affect FE education it should be of interest to those in post-16 education, especially to those teaching Advanced Level Mathematics.

Working with Others

NANAMIC represents the particular needs of the Further Education Mathematics Community on various advisory groups including the Joint Mathematical Council of the UK (JMC).  We meet termly with the other mathermatical subject associations.

 

Our consultations include those with the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME) and the Department for Education (DfE). This enables us to give an effective voice to the FE Maths community.

 

We work closely with other organisations such as the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) and the Mathematics Association (MA). We value hearing your opinions and invite you to consider joining our email consultancy group.
