Education minister Mary Coughlan expects to receive an expert report on how to improve the standard of maths education by the end of next month.
The Tánaiste has set a deadline of the end of May for the completion of the report from the Project Maths implementation support group.
It will consider the introduction of bonus points for the subject in the Leaving Certificate, as outlined by Coughlan at the Teachers Union of Ireland conference earlier this month. Following completion of the report, Coughlan will decide when bonus points should be introduced, the points to be awarded and whether they will apply for entry to all third-level courses.
