Art Now:
An Inquiry into the State of Art and Design teaching in Early Years Foundation Stage, Primary
and Secondary Education
 

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Art, Craft and Design in Education Research Group (which includes Arting Around Advisory board member Susan Coles) recently published their report outlining a number of issues with art and design education in UK schools, despite the subject providing enormous value and benefits to CYP. The evidence showed teachers were lacking in adequate art training, the curriculum gave little time given to art (in primary settings), and CYP that participated in art lessons developed a multitude of transferrable skills (for learning and employability), as well as improved wellbeing, despite the infrastructure currenlty not being place to support the subject fully.

The Inquiry ran between Spring 2020 and Spring 2023 and this report includes a rapid evidence review of the benefits of art and design education, a literature review of art teaching and teacher education, a national survey of 1,860 art and design teachers and testimonies from two APPG evidence sessions.’
