Description
The Arts in Schools: A Case for Integration The arts have an essential place in education, regardless of social and economic circumstances. As we navigate new attitudes towards work, employment, and non-work, fundamental questions arise about the purpose of schooling, curriculum balance, and character of education in Britain. Recent reports and statements on education have only briefly referenced the arts, raising concerns that they may be given low priorities in schools. This book argues for the inclusion of the arts in schools, considering their implications and conclusions. It makes a compelling case for broader curricula and the importance of the arts within this approach. The authors provide practical organisational suggestions to ensure the arts are integrated into school life. With its focus on developing more comprehensive education systems, this book offers valuable insights for heads, governors, administrators, and educators seeking to improve their schools.
