Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 February 2018
136. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason he has not sought to fill the vacant post of chairperson of the high level implementation group of the 2013 Arts in Education Charter. [6507/18]
View answerThe Arts in Education Charter, launched in 2013, is a joint initiative of the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht working in association with the Arts Council to promote arts-in-education.
The appointment of a chair to the Arts and Education Charter High Level Implementation group is a joint decision between myself and the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. Consideration is currently being given to the place of the Charter Implementation Group, and the appointment of a new chair, in the wider context of the Creative Youth Programme and the appropriate oversight mechanism for delivery of that programme.
