Do you work in Higher or Further Education? Does your sector/industry require an understanding of statistics, finance, project planning and/or mathematical modelling?

If so, you may wish to join us on Friday to discuss the SQA Higher Applications of Mathematics qualification being rolled out in 2021/2022. Members of Education Scotland’s STEM and Numeracy & Mathematics team will be joined by a range of HE and FE professionals and representatives from the SQA to discuss the new course. We will consider issues such as effective career information and guidance for school pupils, HE admissions relating to the new course, implications for gender balance in uptake of FE/HE courses and ways in which we may be able to support the development of professional learning opportunities and learning contexts/resources for practitioners in schools.

We are keen to seek representation from a wide range of faculties including STEM, social sciences, business, medicine, psychology and more.
