The number of people taking creative courses in further education has collapsed over the last decade.
Research exclusively given to Channel 4 News from @CreativePEC shows a 57% fall in creative enrollments in England, 68% in Wales, 28% in Northern Ireland, and a 20% in Scotland
Our previous report into arts inequality showed only 1 in 12 people working in film and TV are from working class backgrounds - the lowest in a decade.

Horrific scenes from Rafah tonight.
Too awful to re post- charred and decapitated bodies of children.
And all while the world watches.
I truly hope that in my lifetime we see those in power held to account - those who could have stopped this and failed to do so
The appalling heartless leaders who could not even find the words to condemn a massacre that has been live-streamed on our phones for months

We failed to support the ICJ , abstained at the UNSC , undermined the ICC and continued to arm and support a regime that has brutally slaughtered innocents for months.
UK foreign policy on Palestine is morally bankrupt.
I am sorry we failed you.🇵🇸
Against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Against Assad’s war on his own people.
Against Hamas’s terrorism on October 7.
Against Netanyahu’s war crimes in Gaza.
Against aggression - whoever does it and wherever it occurs.
It’s bitterly cold and we’re in need of blankets to give out to people using our Intervention Centre. If you can help please message Sian on 07968 715624. #WeAreHuggard
