The BBC has previously reported that the poor math skills of British nationals will cause a lot of economic losses to the country every year. Although the English people's mathematics level is very poor, they have realized that it will be terrible to let it spread, so they have been making some efforts to change the current predicament.

The glorious revolution of 1688 established a constitutional monarchy. In the 1960s and 1930s, it became the first country in the world to complete the industrial revolution, and its national strength grew rapidly.
From18th century to the beginning of 20th century, the territory ruled by Britain spanned seven continents, and it was the most powerful country and the largest colonial empire in the world at that time. Its colonial area is equal to11times that of the mainland, so it is called the empire that never falls. Both world wars have won, but the national strength has been seriously damaged.
In the second half of the 20th century, the British Empire disintegrated and the status of capitalist superpower was replaced by the United States. However, Britain is still a big country with great influence in the world. It is the head of the Commonwealth, a member of the Group of Seven, a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
Britain is a highly developed capitalist country and one of the four largest economies in Europe. Its citizens have a very high standard of living and a good social security system. Britain is the world's largest net exporter of financial services. Britain's position as a global financial center is still difficult to shake in a short time.
