Abstract

In this report, commissioned and funded by the Joint Mathematical Council of the United Kingdom, we set out to propose a set of data skills for learners across the four nations of the United Kingdom at three milestones during their statutory school age and to identify the kind of system and classroom level resources necessary to provide a data education such that they achieve them. We draw from examples of data skills in the workplace and evidence from selected jurisdictions who are also responding to the increased demand for data skills from their citizens in a 21st century world. This report extends the work on a similar theme produced for the Royal Society’s Mathematical Futures Programme (Smith, Kathotia, Ward-Penny, Howson, & Wermelinger, 2023) which proposed a set of competencies for mathematical and data literacy for school leavers. In this report we also specify data skills for learners at the end of primary and lower secondary. We contribute to the on-going discussions at the Royal Society on this topic (The Royal Society, 2024) by making recommendations for achieving a meaningful data education across the four nations of the United Kingdom.
