Government Welcomes Report On Creativity In Schools
The Government has taken a major step to making Britain the world's creative hub. A report – Nurturing Creativity in Young People – is published today and follows an independent Review, led by the leading educationalist Paul Roberts. It sets out what more the Government can do to nurture young people's creativity.
Jointly commissioned by DCMS and DfES, the Creativity Review examines key issues such as:
The role of partnerships between schools and the creative and cultural sector,
The opportunities for creative activity in Extended Schools and Early Years' settings,
The development of a Creative Portfolio to celebrate each young person's creative achievements,
The education workforce's role in developing creativity,
Clearer pathways into Creative Industries for young people,
Creating spaces for creative activity through the Building Schools for the Future programme, and
Ensuring Creativity is prominent in the Every Child Matters Framework.
DCMS ministers, David Lammy and Shaun Woodward, and DfES minister Andrew Adonis today welcomed the report at the Creative Economy Programme's Education and Skills breakfast, held at the Design Council.
