A panel which will oversee the development of a new plan to improve cultural education for young people has been brought together by the government.
The panel is made up of 22 experts and includes teachers, education leaders, and representatives from the performing arts, museums, heritage and youth sectors and creative industries.
They have been selected to advise the government on the development of the plan which will articulate and highlight the importance of high-quality cultural education in schools. It will also promote the value of cultural and creative education, outline and support career progression pathways, address skills gaps and tackle disparities in opportunity and outcome by ensuring that all young people, regardless of their background, can access high-quality cultural education.
The panel will be chaired by Baroness Bull, who has extensive expertise in the arts, as a performer in the Royal Ballet, within creative leadership at the Royal Opera House and in governance roles on the boards of the South Bank Centre and Arts Council England.
