Proposed cuts to the funding of university arts courses have come under criticism by a Sheffield charity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artworks, an organisation that revolves around learning disabilities and Autism, relies heavily on university students in Sheffield and there is a fear that the cuts may impact them.<\/p>\n

Emma Harnett, from Artworks said: \u201cArts courses are really important for us because we rely heavily on them to recruit our staff and its really important for our standard of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have also been a lot of experiences that have been great like paid opportunities come through these courses\u201d.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s proposed plans earlier this month indicated a 50% cut to funding of arts subjects in English universities due to \u2018strategic\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n

The office for students, the students regulator in England said the strategic priority of the government in funding does not include subjects such as arts, media studies and archaeology.<\/p>\n

It follows the announcement earlier that the renowned department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield could close down due to funding problems and lack of investment.<\/p>\n

A petition has also been set up following the proposals with the Public Campaign for Arts calling it \u2018an attack on the future of UK arts\u2019.<\/p>\n

Criticism has been growing for the lack of support for the arts in general and cuts to local arts services since the beginning of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

For Harnett, there are fears that this may make arts less inclusive. She said: \u201cit could become a very elitist sort of course where only people who can afford to can do it because of the lack of opportunities.”<\/p>\n

A Department for Education spokesperson said the proposed reforms would only affect a small proportion of the income of higher institutions.<\/p>\n

It stresses that funding being cut from \u00a336 million to \u00a319 million will re-direct money into other areas such as nursing and computing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
