A continuation of funding,  secured for the next four years, will help enable music education hubs  to plan their future and continue their life-changing work.<\/p>\n<p> We must ensure that any proposals for extra responsibilities for music  education hubs are matched by additional funding and do not lead to a  watering down of musical opportunities.<\/p>\n<p> Likewise, we hope this recognition of the importance of music education  leads to a reconsideration of the proposed EBacc which has been so  detrimental to music and the arts. Music is central to the life of every  school &#8211; after all it is where all children go to learn so we hope that  in the light of this great news, Lord Baker&#8217;s proposal for a more  creative Bacc will be adopted.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><br \/><span class=\"normal\">Incorporated Society of Musicians<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A multi-million pound investment in music and arts education will help hundreds of thousands of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6316\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
