Extra maths help in primary school can boost potential earnings significantly

How extra maths help in primary school can boost your income when your 30!

Government funded research shows a child in the top 15% of maths scores at age 10 is likely to earn an extra 7.3% by the age of 30

Children with the best skills earn the most money, according to government funded research.

A study by the institute for fiscal studies (IFS), funded by the department for education, measured the maths achievements of a group born in 1970 and compared it with the salary they earned once they were in there thirties.

A child in the top 15 per cent of maths scores at the age of 10 is likely to earn 7.3 per cent more at the age 30 than an otherwise identical child who achieves a middle ranking maths score, even after controlling for the qualifications that they go on to obtain.

This was calculated as being able to earn an extra £2100 per year.

This is great news for all the parents who have got their kids on the 10ticks Home Learning System from an early age, as they will likely be at the top of the class throughout primary school. This makes paying for that bit of extra maths help with 10ticks seem like a great investment not only in your child’s education but will actually help boost their earning potential when they are older.

The maths helps 10ticks offers, ranges from the age of 5 right up until the age of 16 with A* GCSE. So 10ticks can be with you every step of the way helping to really boost your child to the top of the class. It is also interesting to note maths skills made a much bigger difference to potential earnings than reading and even more important than the qualifications young people go on to achieve. This highlights the importance of investing in skills, particularly maths skills early on.
