U.S. President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities releases report on the importance of fine arts education
by SOFA Fan on Jun.06, 2011, under Updates
The United States President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities released a report today called, “Re-investing in Arts Education.” It credits fine arts education with better attendance, fewer discipline problems, increased graduation rates, higher academic achievement and significant impact on brain development to name a few positives.
In the Executive Summary of the above report, it lists 5 actions that need to be taken to ensure a comprehensive, well rounded education. They are as follows:
- Build collaborations among different approaches
- Develop the field of arts integration.
- Expand in-school opportunities for teaching artists.
- Utilize federal and state policies to reinforce the place of arts in K-12 education.
- Widen the focus of evidence gathering about arts education.

We can only hope that our Alberta Government officials, including the next Premier and MLA’s read the full report and take decisive action to provide further support to fine arts education in Alberta.
