Creative Education and the Future of Work<\/em>.

Declining opportunities for arts-based learning, diminishing funding at all educational levels, and a policy environment that undervalues creativity have collectively led to an unsustainable system. According to <em>Making the Creative Majority<\/em> (Comunian et al., 2023), these issues span from early childhood through postgraduate education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Global Concern with Deep-Rooted Inequities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This crisis transcends borders.
