From the Department of Education, the NCCA, the Teaching Council as the key agencies looking at space in the curriculum and what happens in our schools, there needs to be a recognition of the evidence and the importance around arts and creativity in schools. There must be space for creative education, creative writing and creative play in school at every level. Linked to that, it must be part of teacher education, to ensure that teachers have the skills, confidence and capability to deliver on creative education methodologies that will provide a space for children to enjoy well-being and mental health at a different level in the school system.
