Possible questions
Possible topics and areas for discussion with witnesses include:
- Do you think the Government takes the value of creative skills to the future economy seriously? What impact does this have on you as education providers?
- Does the structure of education system strike the right balance between providing ‘creative’ and ‘non-creative’ subjects?
- How can parents and students be assured that focusing on creative subjects at a young age is a good investment?
- How adequate is the provision of adult learning in the UK and what can we learn from other countries?
