Estyn's maths report criticises 'disappointing' results
"Disappointing" standards in maths among 14 to 16-year-olds in Wales must be tackled, says an education watchdog.
Estyn's report said maths was the lowest performing core subject at key stage four - when pupils work towards GCSEs - and the lowest in the UK.
Last year the proportion of students in Wales achieving C grade and above at GCSE lagged well behind England.
The Welsh government said the report had highlighted both successes and areas that could be improved.
