| Improving Skills in Mathematics in Quebec |

|
|
CIRANO and the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) are partners in En avant math!, a national initiative to promote mathematics and increase numeracy.
Over the past three years, several studies have identified possible solutions to ensure the development of a highly qualified workforce in applied mathematics and to promote a better match between the skills of individuals and the needs of the labour market, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics sectors. In this issue of CIRANO's PERSPECTIVES, the authors present the main lessons learned from the first phase of En avant math !
