Following the announcement of an advisory panel to help produce the overdue National Plan for Music Education (NPME), the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) has urged for wider and further consultation.
The Department for Education (DfE) has said that the plan, refreshed from the 2011 version, will be published ‘early next year’. No specific date has been given, and the update was initially due to be released in 2020.
Although the government's now-published consultation report summarises 5,191 responses to a consultation open between 9 February 2020 and 15 March 2020, the ISM points out that 'the situation has become even worse' during the pandemic, and suggests that any new plan should be 'fully consulted on'.
