The Gradgrind Argument for the Arts

A reminder here of some of the basic economic arguments for Arts education here.   Although it focuses on drama something similar could be said about music.  In a way I regret the reductionism.  Not everything in education should be reduced to a Gradgrind test of productivity gain, but it is undoubtedly true that arts and drama contribute positively to the Economy both directly and indirectly.  

Something for people in Brent to reflect on during the 2020 Borough of Culture perhaps?
