This week sees the start of Everybody Counts! - a consultation process about mathematics in post-primary education, organised by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment. To encourage a wide participation in the consultation, and to give particular encouragement to students in schools and in third level to offer their views, a special free text service has been set-up for comments on mathematics and suggestions for change. Students, parents and teachers alike can simply free text the word 'maths' followed by their comment to 50100.

This consultation has come about after lobbying by the Union of Secondary Students for an open and inclusive discussion on the Maths curriculum at post-primary level and in response to the worrying results from this years Leaving Certificate.

If you would like to get involved in this process and do not have a mobile phone please send comments to the USS by e-mail and we will forward them onto the NCCA.

A forum has been opened within the Class and Curriculms section to debate the Maths curriculum and changes that may be brought forward from this campaign.

The Consultation process will go on for the month of November.
