The world is moving in one direction, and that can be summarized as STEM jobs. Hence Math is becoming more and more important every day. Our level of math education as a whole has dropped steadily since 1994 making our skills training in school less and less relevant as the economy moves more and more towards math and science based jobs. I don't give two figs for what the matric pass rate is. We all know how badly that has been fudged. The only number I care about is higher grade math marks. They tend to hide that number as much as possible for good reasons.
