🎭 "Being taught drama can transform your life." 🎭 This theme was highlighted by both Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy at this year's Labour Party (UK) Conference, in which they both highlighted the critical importance of arts in education. The National Curriculum requires every state funded school to promote children's cultural development, preparing them for the experiences of later life. However, whilst the private school sector is able to invest in cultural education, the state sector has suffered a significant reduction in provision, due in part to the marginalisation of arts subjects in schools over the past twenty years. Children from low income are missing out the most because they are less likely to have cultural experiences outside of school. Furthermore, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has led to a reduction in school trips, including theatre visits. Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre believe that every child has the right to go to the theatre, to experience the joy and opportunity that it can bring.
