Literature Review

Article Title: Stop the Marginalization of the Expressive Arts in education policy



Date: Unknown


Author: Richard Wilson


Objective / Type: Online Petition to encourage members of the public to sign to prevent Michael Gove’s decision to not include Arts within the Ebacc system.

Key Points:  The Arts in relation to the league table and the focus of the Ebacc being solely on the academic subjects. Ofqual are considering banning up to 20 “soft subjects” who includes P.E and Media. 6.2% of the UK’s local income comes from creative industries.


Summary of View:  A very negative and byaist view of Michael Gove and the Government’s plans to the Removal of Arts from the Ebbac system.


Relevance: This article is a very useful as it breaks down the sections of the Ebbac system that are relevant to the Arts with additional links to each section. It is very powerful in its approach and talks very positively of the role which Arts play within Education.
