Learning Through Arts and Culture Improves Young People's Life Chances

The Cultural Learning Alliance (CLA) has published key findings demonstrating the impact of cultural learning on the lives of children and young people.

Funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the report highlights the following: 

*Learning through arts and culture improves attainment in all subjects

*Participation in structured arts activities increases cognitive abilities

 *Students from low-income families who take part in arts activities at school are three times more likely to get a degree

*The employability of students who study arts subjects is higher and they are more likely to stay in employment

*Students who engage in the arts at school are twice as likely to volunteer and are 20% more likely to vote as young adults
