What are the long-term benefits of investing in art, craft & design in education for learning, culture, wellbeing and society? Preliminary report.
[Report]
Abstract
The inquiry began on 17 November 2020 with two preliminary evidence sessions, chaired by Sharon Hodgson MP and Nicholas Trench, The Earl of Clancarty. Nineteen reports and case studies were also gathered for the report. This report is a collation of findings from two sessions. The sessions took place during the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings therefore acknowledge the impact of lockdowns on creative education in schools, in further and higher education. The Research Group were also concerned about the impact of the pandemic on the creative sector, and how the pipeline of talent into those industries was in danger of becoming more fragmented and homogenised. Their specific enquiry focuses on: the benefits a creative education can have for learning, culture, wellbeing and society, while recognising the barriers that threaten access for some pupils and students to studying the arts.
