At the AGM in April, we welcomed Charlie Stripp as the new President of the MA. 

Charlie is a passionate advocate of mathematics education at all levels, from primary school to university.

As Chief Executive of the maths education charity, Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), Charlie leads an organisation which plays a national role in mathematics curriculum development and teacher professional development. MEI plays a key role in the development and leadership of major government-funded programmes to improve maths education: the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics   (NCETM) and the Maths Hubs Programme.

Since first training to be a teacher, Charlie has been a member of the Mathematical Association, serving as Chair of Teaching Committee and a member of the MA’s Council in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was awarded an MBE for services to education in 2015.
