The article states the obvious, but now maybe things will start to change if people believe it's effecting the economy.
From the article:
"This has led to mathematics at university being compromised and able-students being neglected, and has cost the economy billions of pounds in lost mathematicians."
"In today's Britain it is acceptable to say that you can't do maths, whereas people would be ashamed to admit they couldn't read."
Not that anything is ever going to change in the UK, or here in the US.
