An update on progress so far 11 December 2023

Association for Mathematics in Education (AMiE)

The decision of five ‘classroom facing’ mathematics associations (Association of Mathematics Education Teachers (AMET), the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM), the Mathematical Association (MA), the National Association of Mathematics Advisors (NAMA) and the National Association for Numeracy and Mathematics in Colleges (NANAMIC)) to further investigate the feasibility of continuing their work within a single charity was made at their AGMs last Easter. Mathematics is taught in a wide variety of settings. By working together in representing the different emphases of the five associations, the trustees hope to ensure that all sectors and special interests can be developed and sustained in the long term.

The initial trustees of the proposed AMiE would like to update you on the progress so far.

The initial members of the proposed charity are the five associations themselves. The appropriate committees of these associations appointed fourteen initial trustees in August 2022 to include seven trustees representing each of the associations (2 for ATM, 2 for MA and one for each of AMET, NAMA and NANAMIC) and seven independent trustees. The names of all the trustees and details about them can be found below.

There was a meeting of trustees in London where the application was agreed and has since been submitted to the Charity Commission through our solicitors, Bates Wells. The accompanying proposed constitution can be found here. Trustees have been working in four subcommittees since then to address key issues in relation to establishing the new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This work will culminate in the production of a prospectus for the CIO, outlining a proposed framework for the new organisation and this will be available to all members of the existing five associations by the end of March.
