answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>We have begun preparatory work on the refresh of the National Plan for Music Education, which will be published by 2020.</p><p>We are grateful to the many music stakeholders who have already submitted reports and proposals, and are reviewing these closely. A further public announcement will be made soon, setting out our plans to ensure that everyone with an interest in music has the opportunity to contribute.</p><p>The government believes that music is an important subject and that all pupils should receive a high quality music education, at least up to age 14. That is why the subject is compulsory in the national curriculum and why the government is providing funding of over £300 million for music education hubs between 2016 and 2020. The national curriculum does not apply in academies, but all state-funded schools have to provide a broad and balanced curriculum.</p><p>In order to ensure all pupils are able to enjoy a high quality music education, we are also developing and publishing a non-statutory model music curriculum for key stages 1 to 3. This will expand on the statutory programmes of study and act as a benchmark for all schools.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 23/04/2019 12:56:18 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
