Paula Nottingham: Arts in the school curriculum

I often read the online papers in the morning and found this article that might be of interest to some of you gathering literature for Module, or of interest to any of us...

?Nick Serota, head of the Tate, has commented on the needs to keep arts in the school curriculum in an article by Burns (2012) for the BBC.

These comments are in response to the new 'English Baccalaureate Certificate' (EBC) and referred to a report on arts teaching by Darren Henley on 'Cultural Education in England' from the Department for Education (2012).

This report can be downloaded form the Department for Education site?https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/standard/publicationDetail/Page1/DFE-00019-2012

The report was commissioned by the Department for Culture Media and Sport, and will most likely operate to inform public education policy so may be worth a read if you are on a public teaching pathway. ?Just to note - following the ?links I have now saved this report on my desktop and also added a reference (I add comments using Adobe - but if not make not somewhere else) about the web address and the date I saved it is the (Henley, 2012, p. 23).

Another Guardian article explaining the report:

I know people have felt the Robinson reports on education have been powerful advocates. How does this report compare to that report?
