A £20million, five-year action plan, setting out how learners in Wales engage with the arts will be launched by Welsh Ministers in the Senedd, Cardiff Bay, today (Tuesday 3 March). 03 Mar 2015

Creative Learning through the Arts is the response of Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales to Professor Dai Smith’s independent report,Arts in Education in the Schools of Wales.

The Arts Council of Wales will be responsible for the implementation of the plan, working with partners in the regional education consortia, local authorities and arts organisations and practitioners.

Creative Learning through the Arts has three main aims:

· to improve attainment through creativity;

· to increase and improve arts opportunities in our schools; and

· to support our teachers and arts practitioners to develop their skills in order to deliver improved outcomes for learners.

The plan supports the Welsh Government’s three key education priorities – improving literacy, numeracy and reducing the impact of poverty on attainment. (…)
