Subject: Official Information request - Arts Curriculum Devleopment

[You don't often get email from [FOI #32206 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Ministry of Education,
I am respectfully requesting all written documents, reports, memos, letters, notes, emails and draft documents;

· non-written documentary information, such as material stored on or generated by computers and databases, video and tape recordings, maps and photographs; and

· information which is known to an agency but which has not yet been recorded in writing or otherwise relevant to the rewriting of the arts curriculum document and associated support documents between March 2025 and September 2025.

I specifically want the answers to the following questions

Who internally within the Ministry of Education is responsible for the development and management of the Arts Curriculum? What qualifications and expertise do that person/s hold?

What are the names and qualifications of external contractors who have contributed content to the writing of the Arts Curriculum since March 2025?

What are the names and expertise of the contributing group and review group for the arts and how many do you have for each specific artform and sector of the school?

Yours faithfully,
Dr Claire Coleman
