basically in high school - year 7 to year 9 you have all mandatory lessons.
then from years 10 to 11 - you have a smaller pool of subjects you have to study which includes english, maths and science (and there are some classes that you choose yourself, like extra science or a language) - which is what your gcse's are all on.
but after high school, in college (16-18 y/o) you choose which subjects you learn (ranging from maths, sociology, politics, IT, english literature etc).
so basically maths atm is only compulsory up to GCSE age (16) - there's no reason for it to become compulsory to the age of 18.

I've been teaching uni students for a few years now (both in the US and UK) and I've encountered a fair amount of people like this.

Not from the UK but when I was in school maths was mandatory so this is very ????? for me. Are they automatically kicking off any social/artistic subjects or??
Fuck the Tories though, that much I'll happily agree with.

that said, i feel as an adult myself that math does come up quite a bit in real life and it's an important skill to have.
