BET IN CHINA DAILY: PISA SCORES BOOST CASE FOR SHANGHAI MATHS

LAUNCHED IN 2000, PISA SCORES ARE COUNTRY-SPECIFIC AND MEASURE A TYPICAL 15-YEAR-OLDS’ ABILITY TO USE THEIR READING, MATHEMATICAL OR SCIENCE SKILLS BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAY COME ACROSS IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

This year’s PISA scores are indicative that the British system has made a positive move towards a Shanghai-style teaching method for maths in the UK. Phil Avery comments on the latest PISA scores and the Trust’s approach to developments in mathematical teaching methods in China Daily.

“BET has benefitted from working with Chinese partners due to the very high quality of sequencing, lesson planning and teaching for memorisation in China. Our Chinese partners have benefitted from our approach to the development of character, focus on innovation and application of knowledge. In the future, we would like to see Bohunt and Chinese educators working together to run schools in the UK and China that are true collaborations striving for results that are even better than the individual systems can manage alone.”
