The review must cover learners from the early learning and care sector through primary and post-primary education, examining mathematical confidence and numeracy-related factors including self-belief, mathematical self-efficacy, attitudes towards mathematics, and willingness to engage with mathematical learning. It should consider the continuum of educational provision and key developmental and educational transition points. The estimated contract value is £80,000, with the available tender information not specifying a contract duration or completion timeframe. The work will be delivered in Ireland. The critical qualification requirement is that the contractor must be suitably qualified to conduct the required education research and rapid evidence review.
