Mr Hughes told BBC Radio 5 Live Saturday Breakfast: “It’s not making it easier at all. I absolutely guarantee that several times today you will use your head to do various kinds of calculations. It is expected that pupils, from 14 year-olds to those in sixth-forms and further education colleges, could use a new platform to assess and improve on their real-life mathematics skills. This summer almost 186,000 teenagers over the age of 16 resat maths GCSE and 17.4% achieved a grade 4 or above.

The ancient Stoic philosophers don’t know it, but their chief marketing officer is an American named Ryan Holiday. “I think people think Stoicism is the absence of emotion, but I think it’s closer to smiling through adversity and the ups and downs of life.
