Christopher Luxon said for his 2025 plan curriculum will not be involving music and arts and It is not a focus?!?!?
I think personally they should add it back in! Even though people can put their noses up and say its not important it is.
Arts has lots of educational benefits and a positive impact in the child, it provides opportunities for brain development, mastery and builds self esteem (mental health is a problem for all ages even the young ones people!). It also develops their cognitive, social-emotional and multi-sensory skills.
Plus it's fun, engaging and challenging and kids love challenges.
And by the way when I say arts I mean
- drama
- painting/drawing
- film making
This was a rant ( a bit ) but I wanted to turn it into a discussion.
