Newly-appointed Shadow Culture Minister, Dan Jarvis MP has identified his five key areas of focus for the months ahead, with creativity and the creative industries topping the list. Describing himself as “committed to ensuring that the Government never lose sight of the economic significance of the [creative]industry”, he names ‘promoting growth and jobs’ , and ‘nurturing creativity in young people’ as key priorities. Celebrating the UK’s heritage, articulating a vision for the role of libraries and developing the cultural and creative legacy of the 2012 Olympics are also on the list, and he says he will be “looking at regional investment in arts and culture as well as ways to open up apprenticeships and jobs in the industry.” Jarvis has also pledged to “study Darren Henley’s Independent Review of Cultural Education very carefully and fight to make sure that Michael Gove fully appreciates the importance of cultural education in schools.”
