Abstract
Providing equitable access to quality education for all children is an urgent goal for global sustainable development. Mathematics matters because it permeates all aspects of daily life, and learning mathematics develops 21st century skills related to critical thinking and problem solving. While it can be difficult to disentangle the myriad social, economic, and institutional factors that influence outcomes for learners, there is clear evidence that teachers are the key influence on student learning at the classroom and school level. The quality of mathematics teachers is especially significant, since mathematics achievement has a profound impact on young people’s life chances after leaving school.
