At the time of writing, schools minister Nick Gibb has stepped down as part of a government reshuffle, and the ISM has repeated its call for a pause to the Music Hubs Investment Programme and restructure. Given the lack of rationale for the restructure, the uncertainty around if hubs are indeed underperforming (based on a response from Gibb), and the ‘do more for less’ approach highlighted by Ally Daubney and others, this would seem like a good opportunity. We shall see.
Meanwhile, the shortlist for the 2024 Music & Drama Education Awards has been published. Congratulations to all the worthy organisations and individuals listed for their tireless commitment to the cause. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 22 February 2024 at the London Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square.
