The government discusses existing financial education qualifications and general maths teacher recruitment strategies, including financial incentives, but does not specifically address the recommendation to broaden mathematics teacher recruitment criteria beyond those with a degree or A level.

The government explained that Ofsted's current regime already considers a broad curriculum and personal development, and financial education may be included in maths deep dives or citizenship assessments. It noted Ofsted will be consulting on a new education inspection framework and report cards, but did not specifically commit to evaluating citizenship, including its financial education content, under the 'quality of education' judgement.
