Rebuilding arts education

Time for change in a failing system

NEU and NSEAD

The relegation of the Arts subjects to third class citizens in our education system not only threatens the future of the creative industries but it also hinders our ability to nurture children to fully develop their talents and interests.

The new Government is about to review the curriculum. At this meeting we will discuss why broadening and improving Arts education needs to be a priority for this review.

Join us to debate the Arts Apocalypse. 

Speakers: 

  • Ed Harlow, NEU Vice President (Chair)
  • Sarah Kilpatrick, NEU Senior Vice-President
  • Chris Walters, Musicians Union National Organiser for Education and Health & Wellbeing
  • Michele Gregson, NSEAD General Secretary
  • Marlene Wylie, NSEAD President. 

Party conferences

Each year, the NEU participates in the Green, Liberal Democrat, Labour, and Conservative Party Conferences, held throughout September and October.
