There are so many excellent and strong comments coming back against Gove's EBac. Those concerned now need to get this issued aired and
force Gove to think again.
This may be through 38 Degrees as a campaign but there is a need to
get many more votes on this issue for this to happen.

I do hope Campaign in World Farming are opposing this plan.
The fur trade is no longer popular in this country and as for selling the
meat if the producers have to state the method of farming (as with eggs) then I do not think many will buy.

The fact that the Dept for Education has drastically cut courses for teaching in art from next year shows how little they appreciate the importance of this subject in our culture. Very sad.

Proposed changes to the education of our children are still ongoing.
The Education Bill has been debated in the commons and will also be
discussed in the House of Lords. If anyone has the concerns that I have in relation to the subjects of art and music being removed from the National Curriculum I urge people to use their voice in opposition. The plans under discussion now will affect our children for years to come.

I am very concerned at Mr Goves' changes to the National Curriculum and parfticularly the lack of arts. The UK is admired for its contribution to the arts, i.e. designers, theatre, painters etc. My daughter has been given a place to study for a PGCE in Art but the college say this year they can only
take 10 students instead of the usual 20 due to lack of funding. They appear to be dispairing over what Gove is doing.
I recently visited Kings School, Canterbury where arts are flourishing.
Do future plans mean that only the wealthy are going to have access to
education in the arts?
