Call for Testimonials on Curriculum Revision - Submission by the Creative PEC
In August 2025, Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) responded to the UK Government's Curriculum Review, which closed in November 2024. The response, published for transparency, can be cited using the following citation: Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (2025) Curriculum Review Call for Evidence. Creative PEC. doi: 10.5281/zenodo.16680833.
Creative PEC, an organization that focuses on independent research and policy recommendations for the UK's creative industries, highlighted the significance of creativity in a balanced curriculum. This emphasis aligns with broader educational trends towards valuing creativity, as seen internationally in curriculum reforms that shift from rote memorization to creative thinking processes.
The response from Creative PEC is based on their work around diversifying the talent pipeline into the creative and cultural sectors. The document includes a definition of creativity that acknowledges its importance across various domains and subjects.
While specific critiques of the UK Government’s Curriculum Review are not detailed in the response, Creative PEC's involvement in joint initiatives with prominent education and arts bodies suggests they advocate for embedding creative skills and collaborative practices in education. This aligns with the UK’s focus on enhancing creativity in education.
Bernard Hay, the Head of Policy at Creative PEC, can be contacted for further information at bernard.hay@our website.
In a joint report titled Creative Corridors with the RSA and Arts Council England, published in August 2025, Creative PEC outlined a new framework aimed at scaling collaboration across the creative sector. This initiative indicates a positive engagement with efforts to enhance creativity within education.
Therefore, based on their 2025 response, Creative PEC appears to endorse a curriculum that supports creativity through strategic partnerships and frameworks designed to foster creative collaboration across education and cultural sectors.
