The Association of British Orchestras (ABO) has issued a national call for the UK government to invest in music education.
The #AnOrchestraInEverySchool initiative seeks to ensure access to high-quality music education and creative subjects for all children and young people, investing in music education and skills development.
In the lead up to the UK government’s Spring Spending Review, the campaign’s stated aim is to ‘urge UK government to invest in music education. Investment and reforms such as increasing the minimum arts entitlement within the school week, improvements to teacher training and recruitment, addressing shortages in different instruments being learnt and taught as well as enabling access to flexible apprenticeships for the creative industries, will create more equitable access to the arts for all young people.’
