As part of a long-term economic plan, United Kingdom Government is determined to improve the teaching level in primary and secondary schools, so that young people have the capacity to win in the fierce competition in the world. The country's Ministry of education on January 3 new rules requiring England students before graduation (11 years old) must participate in the multiplication table up to 12x12 examination.
