To write his name upon a shithouse wall

the chinese system is loving awful and chinese students are renowned in education for being loving terrible at everything that isn't an abacus when they go to european universities. The skills do not translate to the real world or further education

It's not, actually.

So what the Daily Mail have done here is to hear "as used in [places in the far east]" and conflated the Mastery Approach with their stereotype of eastern mathematics education.

There are some things in (certainly very low level) mathematics that can be taught by rote, yes, but that's not what the Mastery Approach is; it's an approach based on the use of high quality text books and lots of in-class discussion.

It does have downsides - most notably that it requires dramatically more work by the teacher outside the classroom (and with their colleagues) because it's much more reactive to the needs of students. (As an aside, this is one of the main reasons why education outcomes tend to be better in places like Singapore - teachers have more time to do out-of-classroom preparation.)

It's almost like the way to have a better education system is make sure teachers are highly trained, paid well, and arn't overworked, as opposed to there being one cure-all teaching method!

"singapore maths" bar diagram problem sums are quite different from US-flavoured progressive approaches

singapore's approach is also actually quite distinct from hk/taiwan/skorea; not sure about japan - singapore maths is mainly about the bar diagrams rather than the story

one of the weirder puzzles is how scandinavian and east asian countries with basically totally opposite approaches to teaching maths or hiring teachers can nonetheless both do very well on the PISAs

sadly I am not a pedagogy expert and the field is too politicized by anxious parents for me to really tell what's going on

If corbyn has this sewn up, shouldn't he have called for another leadership election, to submit himself to the labour voter and secure a mandate?

I mean he should have done it so that the drama of the labour backstabbing could have been averted.

Would he have been able to obtain better terms for the contest if it was at his direction?

No, because that's not how leadership elections in the Labour Party work.

But also Corbyn was fairly consistent in calling for an open contest, but that has to be initiated by challengers.

Its a system devised on taking best elements from other places, its actually quite good and not kids just stood up reciting things, things like times tables would be rote learned because being that's actually really handy as long as its paired with actual understanding.

It was against his interest, the "backstabbing" narrative is extremely valuable for his campaign and energizing his anti-establishment support, and the alternative (ie they chicken out) is good for him too. Had he called a leadership contest I doubt very much he'd have made it on the ballot.
