Dr. Jen Shearman @jenshearman.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Great article by @tomrocksmaths.bsky.social. Getting to the top levels in maths is possible for all groups and backgrounds, but it is currently harder for some people than others. Hence why equity in maths education at all prior attainment levels is so important @meimaths.bsky.social 152
