Actually literally the subject (A level maths pedagogy) of the research project I work for....
EDIT: Preliminary findings basically that "teaching to the exam" & heavily transmissionist pedagogy is a function of the standardisation and league-table regime brought in by Nu Lab to justify inreased education spending. Ironic, perhaps, but not very funny for the students or for the universities who have to teach basic maths to, e.g., physics students, because they have no understanding beyond reciting formulas.
League tables predated Nu Lab by almost a decade.
