Department for Education written question – answered at on 18 February 2019.
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 1 February (HL12956 and HL12957), what plans they have to maintain support for music education hubs when funding via the National Plan for Music Education comes to an end in 2020.
The department recently announced an additional £1.3 million for music education hubs until March 2020. The total funding for music education hubs between 2016-20 is over £300 million. This is part of almost half a billion pounds the department is investing in a range of music and cultural programmes between 2016-2020 - more than any other subject except PE.
Funding for this commitment beyond March 2020 is a matter for the upcoming Spending Review. In the meantime, the department is reviewing the National Plan for Music Education.
