A maths textbook from Shanghai is to be published in the UK this week as part of a campaign to improve maths scores in the UK.
The book, “One Lesson, One Exercise”, has been translated from the Chinese version and adapted to suit the British national curriculum. The classic textbook has been in use in Shanghai for around 20 years.
This follows last year’s exchange whereby 60 Shanghai school teachers travelled to the UK to share maths-teaching techniques with British teachers. 29 more Shanghai maths teachers are due to travel to the UK later this month in order to visit primary schools and share teaching techniques.

That's probably for the Chinese students who can't get accustomed to thinking for themselves.

This is disgusting. You are telling me the richest country can't publish their own Math books? They are part of the EU and many people from poorer EU countries flock to the UK , you can't find mathematicians out of that lot? You can't find some from Canada, US, Aus , NZ, Germ, Japan or any other peaceful country? We constantly read articles saying China is a threat to regional stability which is true. But the US and UK do everything they can to prop up China even at the expense of their own economies. Why? This deal should be investigated thoroughly inside and out. The same with the Boston train deal, despicable.

Rote memorisation allows Chinese middle school and high school students to write the correct answers on an exam paper, after spending twice as many hours studying as Western students. The Chinese method of education (repeating the teacher's words verbatim) also results in students sacrificing the ability to REASON. --- Recalling memorised answers has one application: Getting good test scores at school. Thinking, on the other hand, has literally infinite applications. --- That said, I doubt this is actually about maths scores. It's just the next step in the UK's Chinese-bottom-licking campaign.
