I feel like when you are 18 you have already learnt everything there is to know about maths. So I think there is no point

Maths is an essential skill for life. Almost all jobs require at least some maths, and is will be even more important in the future. However, many adults struggle with it. I believe maths should definitely be compulsory until the age of 15, even if it was just ‘basic maths’, without more complex things. This would have a huge positive impact on people’s maths skills, and their jobs and lives.

I think it should be compulsory because it's a life skill, you would be much easier to scam if you couldn't count property also if you know it you are more likely to get a good job

It should be compulsory as you need math in a lot of subjects ie computing, sewing and architecture

I do not! It's not just that I HATE maths, but I think everyone should have an opinion of what they choose to study at university, not just what the government think.➕➖✖➗

Although maths is in the basis of everything we do it's important to remember we already have to study it until we're 16. It also may put people of further education if they have to do maths. It's a no from me

I do not think we should study it it until were 18 because as mr Sunak said we're going out into jobs and by the age of 16 you should be able to pick you own choices in life and not be trapped in something you don't want to be doing

I think pupils should be given the option to decide whether they want to continue with maths until they are 18. Teachers should also make young people like maths so they would want to continue.

I think you should study maths until you are 18 because maths is a life skill. There is no job without maths.

Yes, because it helps you in your future career.

You should

I definitely don't think it should be compulsory because you should be able to choose what you want to study after you leave school.

Although maths IS a life skill, by age 16, I think we're mature enough to decide whether we want to continue studying a certain subject; that's why we get to pick our A-Levels. Many people may not want a maths based career, so forcing people to study maths would be a waste of time and resources. Furthermore, it would likely put a lot of people off further education, as many people won't want to study maths until they're 18.

no way i am already trying to choose 3 a-levels if i have to do maths aswell it would be too much work

loads of people do not only dislike math but additionally find it very challenging. I think that it shouldn't be a main focus at that age but still something that should be part of the curriculum.

I agree with splashy10. By the time your 18-19 you have learnt almost everything about maths. Maybe you don’t know pie times pie but it’s ok.

splashy10, I agree

All jobs need maths. Even if you become a garbage collector you might have to count the amount of money you get.

nope they arent enough qualified maths teacher already

There is maths in everyday life.If maths wasn't compulsory we could get stuck in building because we need to count how many layers of bricks we need.
