The new Education Act (LOMLOE) that is now being prepared in Spain intends to make Mathematics an optional subject. The Mathematics Institute has issued a manifest that argues about the importance of Mathematics in society, and in favour of keeping Mathematics as a compulsory subject in high school. If you agree with this, please sign the manifest at the link below (the manifest is in Spanish; I don't remember if there is an English version):

There is also a petition at change.org:

Thank you very much in advance.

Excelente tarea Hebert, ojalá tengan suerte en su empeño y no terminen como Argentina donde los ingresantes a la Universidad (en Física e Ingeniería, por ejemplo) no saben sumar fracciones.
Un abrazo, Nápoles
Excellent task Hebert, I hope you are lucky in your endeavor and do not end up as Argentina where the entrants to the University (in Physics and Engineering, for example) do not know how to add fractions.
A hug, Juan
yes, Mathematics is a Universal language. Everyone in this universe are living with mathematic.
Of course, it is important, but based on the specialization that the student wants to join in the university.

Learning mathematics is very important for students in all stages of learning, not only in the secondary stage because it is they that develop thinking and the steps of solving problems for the student.
Later in the foregoing, remember that mathematics is the queen of science, as it enters and contributes effectively in all fields of knowledge, in physics, chemistry, etc.
Indeed! Mathematics could be the solid foundation for many applied sciences. Mathematical equations are essential in biomechanics, for example.
Yes, in a sense that Mathematics help us to excel in other areas of discipline.
Definitely. It really doesn't matter where you wanna go as far as career is concerned; mathematics is so important in all walks of life. Always.

Yes. Very much important. But in a complex world there are many things which arguably make up a core curriculum. Creativity. Critical thinking. Problem-solving. Sadly the debate about what matters has been undermined by evangelism on both sides, especially pitting so called 21c skills against maths, english, science etc. See this paper:

The harder abstract problems solving you master, the easier gets every-day routines of logical thinking. It is indispensable!
Learning mathematics is very important for students in all stages of learning, because it is develop thinking and the steps of solving alot of problems for the student.
Learning mathematics is very important for students in all stages of learning, because it help students to develop critical thinking and make them to excel in other fields such as science,..
