This report – the fourth in our State of the Nations series – looks at student participation in creative further education (FE) across all four UK nations and shows that there is a severe drop in participation.
As demand for skills grows, it is not being met by increased participation in creative learning. This indicates that there is a pipeline shortage for the UK’s growing creative economy.
The report brings together 31 data sets to provide the most comprehensive picture yet of the state of creative further education.
