<p>The Government is clear that the EBaccalaureate (EBacc) should be studied as part
of a broad and balanced curriculum. It has been designed to be limited in size in

individual interests and strengths, including arts subjects.</p><p>The attached table
shows that the proportion of young people taking at least one arts GCSE since 2010
has fluctuated across years, but has remained broadly stable. According to the Department
for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport’s Taking Part Survey, in 2017/18, 96% of children
aged 5-15 had engaged with the arts in the past 12 months<sup><sup>[1]</sup></sup>.</p><p>
