If you want good maths education the first step might be to make sure the maths teachers aren't going out on strike, and the second step might be to make sure you're recruiting enough maths teachers - he's acheived neither. It's not a criticism to say that his background isn't in education, it's an explanation of why he's come up with some weird priority out of the blue and created a solution that no one thinks will work. This isn't about the Prime Minister being the CEO and therefore not needing to worry about the details. A strategic thinker might address the actual issues facing the country rather than blathering about how actors should be forced to learn maths. Should we have interupted Sunak's education to teach him about acting? I think it might have been a good idea, he might have learned to empathize with others a bit rather than coming up with dumb ideas about how every child in Britain needs to be a little Rishi Sunak.
