| the arts in England lost goverment funding. |
The budget of the arts has been cut, making sure the goverment saved up to £100 million. This also has a negative side, because not only does the goverment now saves a lot of money, most of the arts has completely lost their funding.
Last year 849 organisations were able to get funding from the goverment. This year, it is only 695 organisations who were able to get funded by the goverment. The groups that completely rely on the goverment for funding is high, so this could mean that there will be a decrease in the Arts in the UK. Unless the organisations are able to provide a alternative source of funding, such as: private sponsorship, lottery tickets, or being able to do it completely on selling tickets alone.

Comment.
I find it sad that whenever a Goverment has to cut in it's budget it choses things like this. The arts. I understand that art is not a basic neccesity such as, educaton and health service. However, I do believe that a budget can be fixed more flexible then just removing funding for one group. I do not know what happend to the other groups that get goverment funding. So I cannot give my fair opinion about this, because I do not know everything. However, cutting in the arts is getting old and I wish they had the money to leave it alone.

I agree with Marlot. The Arts may not be seen as necessary to the government, however to many students the Arts is something they cannot live without. Just because it is not a profession like a doctor or lawyer does not mean that it is less important.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with the both of you. I think they shouldn't remove funding from just 1 group. The government could have picked more groups to get money from, to create stability. I do think it is unfair to make a huge choice like this, because arts can be very important to a lot of people and the government just takes that away. This situation is just so unfair!
