A-pluses all round for a nationwide maths trial.

The $40 million Government programme targeted 1500 Year 7 and 8 students needing extra support, through small-group tutoring up to four times a week.

Education Minister Erica Stanford says early indicators show students averaged one to two years progress.

"It tells me that there's no substitute for excellent, explicit teaching in a structured way. And what that shows is that when we have a curriculum that supports that and professional learning and development that supports that, then you get these results."

All schools who requested to be part of the programme have been accepted.
