The department does not hold this information. The BBC may hold more information on this topic.<\/p>

Page 115 of the BBC\u2019s Annual Report for 2019-20 sets out some information on how the BBC has performed on its public purpose to support learning for people of all ages. The report also states that the BBC offered 14 weeks of educational programmes and lessons during the summer term and that, by the end of the term, the BBC had published nearly 2,000 curriculum-led \u2018Bitesize Daily Lessons\u2019 online.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Further, on 5 January 2021, the BBC also announced its education offering for the UK\u2019s third national lockdown. The announcement included three hours of primary school programming each week day on CBBC, and at least two hours of secondary school content each day on BBC 2. It also included an expansion of BBC bitesize online content for primary and secondary school pupils. The full announcement can be found on the BBC website here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2020/bbc-launches-biggest-education-offer-ever<\/a><\/p>

This Government recognises the great value of the UK\u2019s arts and cultural sectors. We have provided £1.57bn through the Cultural Recovery Fund, ensuring record breaking support is available to support the cultural sector through the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>

The Government decided not to seek continued participation in the Creative Europe programme as part of the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU but to look at other ways of supporting the UK\u2019s arts and cultural sectors. The Spending Review announced £7m in funding for a pilot year of the Global Screen Fund. The Fund will support the UK independent screen sector, in particular UK independent film content, to remain competitive in the international market and help ensure the continued stability of the independent screen sector as a whole.<\/p>

We understand the role international cultural partnerships and networking play in driving forwards the very best in leading contemporary practice. The Government will continue to assess the needs of the sector through the continued impacts of COVID-19 and in establishing our place on the world stage outside of the European Union.<\/p>

Ministers have regular discussions with their Cabinet Colleagues on a wide range of issues, including cross-border labour mobility with the EU for musicians and other creative professionals.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of touring for UK musicians and other cultural and creative practitioners, and their support staff. Officials from across government engaged with the performing arts sector extensively throughout negotiations. That engagement has continued since the announcement of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement to ensure they are aware of new requirements. Going forward, we will continue our close dialogue with the creative and cultural sectors to ensure they have the support they need to thrive.<\/p>

Ofcom data indicates that in 2018, public service broadcasters (PSBs, in this context the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) collectively broadcast 125 hours of content in 2018 meeting the description of \u201cformal education\u201d. Of this, 65 hours were considered original content.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

This output was supplemented by content available on-demand, online, on podcasts and radio, as well as less formal educational content such as documentaries and broader children\u2019s content.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Between 2010 and 2018, the total amount of educational content broadcast by PSBs fell considerably (2010: 725 hours). Over the same period, the amount of original educational content broadcast by PSBs remained relatively constant (2010: 70 hours), albeit with considerable year-to-year fluctuation. Data covering 2019 and 2020 is not yet available.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Ofcom data suggests that commercial multi channels broadcast 40 hours of original content classified as \u2018other\u2019 in 2018 (2014: 0 hours). This classification includes formal education.<\/p>

Ofcom data indicates that in 2018, public service broadcasters (PSBs, in this context the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) collectively broadcast 125 hours of content in 2018 meeting the description of \u201cformal education\u201d. Of this, 65 hours were considered original content.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

This output was supplemented by content available on-demand, online, on podcasts and radio, as well as less formal educational content such as documentaries and broader children\u2019s content.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Between 2010 and 2018, the total amount of educational content broadcast by PSBs fell considerably (2010: 725 hours). Over the same period, the amount of original educational content broadcast by PSBs remained relatively constant (2010: 70 hours), albeit with considerable year-to-year fluctuation. Data covering 2019 and 2020 is not yet available.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Ofcom data suggests that commercial multi channels broadcast 40 hours of original content classified as \u2018other\u2019 in 2018 (2014: 0 hours). This classification includes formal education.<\/p>
