Education Minister Dave Hancock is assuring parents that fine arts won’t be left out of an upcoming school curriculum review.
In a speech Wednesday, Hancock said things like music, dance and painting should be core areas of education.
His comments came after a meeting held at Central Memorial High School to make sure fine arts are still a big part of what kids are taught.
The Save Our Fine Arts group, which put on the meeting, tells The Calgary Herald they’re happy to hear the minister’s comments, but they also want to make sure it’s not just political posturing.
