Can we please stop the nonsense about the 'value' of arts and creative industries university degrees. UK gov, look at the economic impact of these sectors and realise it doesn't happen without new talent. https://t.co/VRKCbqfYcq

Remarkable that we still can't see the advantages of creativity and creative education to innovation and economic growth.

[FT Weekend @ftweekend]

In the UK, higher education funding for arts and design was cut this year in favour of science and mathematics. Rather than combining creativity with these subjects to foster economic growth, the focus has turned to science. Must Britain choose? https://t.co/77ABlzvQFt
