After announcing the cancellation of its Art Museum late last year, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has launched a review of its performing arts courses. The Courier-Mail reported the university has experienced a 40% decline in first preferences since 2019.
National Advocates for Arts Education (NAAE) Chair Dr John Nicholas Saunders says his group has identified the discontinuation of over 40 creative arts courses across the country since 2018. Eight more have been significantly reduced.
