Further decline in Arts Education 2020-2021


There has been another significant drop in the number of arts GCSE and A Level entries, part of a worrying trend from recent years, but hardly surprising as so few students have had any practical arts activities since March 2020.


Read the full report from the Cultural Learning Alliance here.


The result: far fewer arts GCSEs and A Levels are studied across England’s schools than a decade ago.

-38% decline in arts GCSE entries 2010 to 2021

-1% decline in arts GCSE entries 2020 to 2021

+2.4% increase in GCSE Cohort number 2020 to 2021

-31% decline in arts A Level arts entries 2010 to 2020, -1% decline 2020-2021


Although there has been an overall decline in arts subjects, there are a few positives to note. There has been a slight increase in GCSE Art & Design, and GCSE Music takeup, and while there has been a 3% drop in GCSE Dance, there has been an 8% increase in A-Level Dance.

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các Berlinintim mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim với mình như شيخ روحاني vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب
