HC Deb 11 June 1990 vol 174 c46W
93. Mr. Bowis

To ask the Minister for the Arts what discussions he has held with "arts in education" teams.

Mr. Luce

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education and Science, and I have both acknowledged the role which the arts will play in the national curriculum. An important booklet, "Arts and Schools", jointly funded by the two departments has just been published and issued to all maintained schools in Great Britain. It includes a number of case studies of best practice in art in education by various arts organisations—including museums, art galleries and libraries—working with schools to widen the boundaries of classroom learning.
