A quote from Prof Brian Butterworth, an Emeritus professor from the Centre of Educational Neuroscience at the University College London:
The UK is not very good at maths. We are about average looking at all [Organization for Economic Cooperation] countries. So, we are significantly worse than Canada and Australia and much worse than China and Japan although we are a bit better than Germany and significantly better than the United States.
