About This Cause
MEI is an independent national charity, based in England. We are committed to improving maths education by supporting the teaching, learning and assessment of maths. We work to achieve this directly, through partnerships, and by influencing and advising on national policy relating to maths education. We aim to develop understanding, confidence and enjoyment in using maths, by encouraging the engagement and participation of students, and by supporting and inspiring teachers. Our people MEI employs a highly committed team of staff who work hard to achieve its aims. Our academic staff are experts in maths education and are based throughout England. They are supported by a dedicated team of finance and administrative staff at our offices in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. We have eleven trustees, all volunteers, who are directors of the charity. Their career paths include senior positions in school and university education, business management and engineering, and they bring a wealth of experience to MEI. They are committed to ensuring MEI’s corporate governance is strong and true to its values. In addition, we have an Advisory Panel of external independent experts who provide MEI with strategic advice. Our members MEI’s work is supported by its members, and by schools and colleges which have registered with us, free of charge, as MEI Educational Associates. Our members and Educational Associates make valuable contributions to our work, particularly our AS and A level curriculum development programme, and to our responses to government consultations. Our work MEI’s work to support maths education includes developing curriculum specifications and schemes of assessment; providing professional development opportunities for teachers; and publishing teaching and learning resources, including Integral our online teaching and learning platform for AS and A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. We provide direct support to students through the highly successful Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP), which is funded by the Department for Education (For England). This programme was developed by MEI and has been managed by us since its inception in 2005. We focus on the maths education of 11-18 year-olds, addressing both academic and vocational pathways. We also support adult and higher education and the teaching and learning of maths in other subjects. Through our involvement in the leadership and management of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) we help coordinate the Maths Hubs programme and support maths teaching in primary schools. Most of our work is in England, but we also contribute to improving maths education across the UK and internationally. Who we work with We have a rich network of relationships with beneficiaries, partners and other stakeholders, and we often collaborate with other organisations and with the Government to extend the reach and impact of our work. We have strong connections with the British maths education community through our membership of the Joint Mathematics Council, and with other Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) organisations, including STEM Learning.
