Dateline: 23rd March, 2003 Arts in Schools Hit Hard A recent survey has revealed that 80% of UK headteachers say they have to fight to find time for the arts in the curriculum, and 90% of teachers are concerned that students are losing the ability to think imaginatively because of cuts in arts teaching, according to a report in The Guardian. Two-thirds of the 695 teachers from all sectors questioned said that they feared the reduction in time devoted to the arts will be detrimental to the country. The major problem, according to the report, is that the curriculum has become so prescriptive that it is impossible to fit in the amount of arts teaching with teachers think important. Only 13% of secondary schools allow students who wish to do so take Art and Design and classes in the subject are larger than in other subjects. Primary schools are even worse off: more than a third of them depend upon being given free art materials and only one in six has a specialist art teacher. |A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z| Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
