Up to 60 Shanghai maths teachers are to be brought to England to raise standards, in an exchange arranged by the Department for Education.

They will provide masterclasses in 30 "maths hubs", which are planned as a network of centres of excellence.

The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK.
