I'm from Australia, so university at least is similar in that many subjects are set in the course you do. If you're bad at Maths in high school bridging courses and free tutoring is offered for the "hard" sciences in University, at least.
Obviously there's minimum levels of competency at Maths you need to actually do the work. You need stats in Genomics and Molecular Bio, you need hardcore calculus in Astrophysics and there's no real avoiding that because it's an integral part of the day to day work.
But they're not doing a good job of teaching it, and outside of Physical Chemistry and Physics there are usually fields where those weak in maths can go and still contribute significantly, even if it ends up being Admin or Science Communication.
