00:00We did really well. So in maths, we're in the top 10 of all countries. We saw some countries
00:12had quite significant declines. We didn't, and we would be considered a high-performing
00:18country in mathematics, which is excellent and a testament to our teachers. We know that
00:23our teachers are making sure that they're checking for understanding, they're not leaving
00:29to chance any gaps that students might have in their knowledge. They're explicitly teaching
00:36the content, they're revising that content, and they're making sure that all of the basic
00:41blocks, the foundation blocks that children need in order to understand, you know, harder
00:47concepts later in life for maths and science are known. And they've done a great job. Best
00:54ever, in fact.
