Darren Henley begins review of cultural education

Monday 11th April

The Minister for Culture has launched a review of cultural education. It will be undertaken by Darren Henley and be supported by a secretariat from Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department for Education (DfE).

You can find details of the review and how to take part in the consultation here.

Welcoming the report Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, said:

“Every child should be exposed to rich cultural opportunities. Too often, this is a privilege reserved for the wealthy few. This must change. This important review will play a key role in ensuring that children from all backgrounds can reap the benefits of our culture and heritage.”

The review is expected to make its recommendations in the autumn.
