Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 November 2025

Debate

Dyscalculia

Contribution

I suspect it is, as other things would also be. The noble Lord makes an important point, which goes to the point I made in my first two responses. It is important that we identify all pupils who have challenges with maths—including those with dyscalculia—as early as possible, and put in place support, structure in the curriculum and training for teachers to enable those students to succeed, whatever is causing the problems with their maths learning.
