For the purposes of this review, the terms children and young people and girls and young women refer to learners from the early learning and care (ELC) sector through primary and post-primary education. The review should therefore consider evidence relating to confidence in mathematics and numeracy, including learners' self-belief, mathematical self-efficacy, attitudes towards mathematics, and willingness to engage with mathematical learning across the continuum of educational provision, including key developmental and educational transition points. ## CPV classification Social research services Research and development services and related consultancy services Research services Research consultancy services Research and development consultancy services Design and execution of research and development Source Tenders Electronic Daily (EU) · Notice 648950-2026 [View official notice](https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/648950-2026) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
