Tomorrow Nicky Morgan will give her first major speech since she became Education Secretary. She’ll be setting out what the Government plans to do to ensure that every child gets a good education. For years politicians of all parties have put education right at the top of their agenda. That’s great. But we seem to have ended up with a target and league-table obsessed system and a too narrow focus. The Government says the national curriculum is broad and balanced, but is it? From what I’ve seen, creativity is being squeezed out. We need to send a message that children need so much more than just literacy and numeracy. They need a broad and balanced curriculum, including the right for every child to get a good music education and the chance to learn an instrument. You've shared your amazing stories about how learning music changed your lives. Now we have to shout louder so that the Government hears us. Children need more than just Maths & English. @educationgovuk must ensure EVERY child gets a good music education too #DontStopTheMusic Share this message with the Department for Education on Twitter http://ow.ly/C4bFk Post a message on their Facebook page http://ow.ly/C4aQn Not on Twitter or Facebook?
