Teachers, hauliers and even nursery workers now need to have gcse maths, but not appatently, government ministers, the chancellor or prime minister, who are in charge of all our money. I created an e petition to ask that all ministers be made to take gcse maths or equivalent, and if they fail, that they be dismissed.
I am waiting for a link from the government.
And here it is:

This probably had nothing to do with the possibility that they would all fail their maths exam and have to resign.
