Stars from the arts world have joined industry leaders in urging the UK government to make creative education accessible to all young people. The call also coincides with this year's A-level results, which showed further decreases in the number of students taking drama and music.
A letter from the Creative Industries Federation calls on the government to recognise the "critical" role of creative education for young people in the creative industries and the economy as a whole. It cites evidence saying there has been an 8% drop in the number of students taking GCSEs in creative subjects since 2014/15.
This call for more creative education in schools is also something that should be considered in Hong Kong.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
