🚨 New data from Ofqual suggests that uptake of A-level music in England is at its lowest level ever.

It's time for Government to deliver on their promises. We need urgent action to address the decline of music education in schools 👇

Link to a paper I co-authored with Natalie Nazier recently, entitled 'Benefits of Music Education in Schools, a Rapid Evidence Review'. Published by the RSC and CLA. NB: This has a very specific methodology, which is explained in the paper. https://t.co/yAMz5TwbC0

@dylanwiliam @mathillustrated Will have to archive this tweet, and then use Harvard referencing conventions to be able to cite it in future! According to google scholar "Your search - "In education, everything is of limited usefulness" - did not match any articles", so tweet-citing it will be!
