Using a collaborative ‘co-creation’ approach, the report synthesises inputs from a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, academic experts, school leaders, teachers, NGOs, social partners and, most importantly, pupils. 

Mathematics, as a school discipline, is undergoing transformation to meet societal and technological demands. A future-oriented curriculum equips learners with competencies in both the personal and professional realms without overloading pupils or teachers. 

The report is structured into four chapters: 

1. Introduction to the current state of mathematics curriculum design: highlighting transformation challenges and opportunities
2. Review of the evolution of mathematics curricula over the past 25 years: focusing on competency integration and identifying curriculum gaps 
3. Analysis of findings from the OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030 project: exploring implications for mathematics curriculum development
4. Proposal of principles for curriculum design to address 21st-century needs: emphasising the integration of critical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy
