The loss of NTP funding for schools, increased competition for grants and corporate sponsorships, and c05t-of-living pressures all contributed to reduced funding opportunities and the need to offer free or reduced-cost pro8rammÉs.

Partly due to Covld. there was an increase in demand for online programmes over the past few years. This has shifted. wtth fundeis and schools wantlng more in-person programmes. Thi5 raises challenges with tutor and mentor availability. as many tutors are full tlme math5 teache, and mentors need to balance their time 3rDund their own exams. It is a150 more expensiveto run in-person programmes as the numbei of studenis registered by each school tends to be smaller Ith3n in the case of onllne proÉramTne51.
