FILE - Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak leaves Downing Street to attend the weekly session of Prime Ministers Questions in Parliament in London, Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants to reverse an anti-math mindset and require the subject be taught in England until students are adults, though he acknowledged Monday, April 17, 2023, that there aren't enough teachers to meet existing requirements. – U.K.
He said an “anti-maths mindset" had made Britain one of the least numerate nations in the developed world. Critics pointed out that the government had cut its recruitment target for math teachers by nearly 40% since 2020 — and still failed to achieve those numbers. There aren't enough math teachers to meet existing requirements, never mind expanding the curriculum, said Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, a union for principals and head teachers.

A security officer covered the object with a bulletproof briefcase, said Konishi, 41. The fishermen swarmed the attacker.
